If I hadn’t known this was because some travel documents were left back in Korea, I would’ve said LA is taking their rivalry with San Francisco to the next level 😆 Free Jung Hoo Lee! #MLB

The “Grandson of the Wind” Jung Hoo Lee is now confirmed for Team Korea in the World Baseball Classic. Can’t wait for this tournament to start!

I just published my first-ever post on Substack! It shares the story of where my love for baseball came from and why I decided to start this project. If you love baseball and/or Korean culture, please consider giving it a read. Thanks for your support! #MLB

Congrats to Carlos Beltran, Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent for being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame! Always cool to see players I grew up watching get into Cooperstown. #MLB

Really bummed about this news. Ha-Seong Kim recently signed a $20 million one-year contract with the Atlanta Braves. Hopefully his recovery goes well (4-5 months) and we’ll see this Korean shortstop back in action soon. #MLB #baseball
Finger surgery will sideline #Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim until at least the middle of May:
