“I was born early and played baseball early, so I am not a senior.”
Choo Shin-soo (SSG) appeared on the radio program ‘DKNET’ in Dallas, Texas, USA on the 21st (hereinafter Korean time) and made a bold statement about issues related to the national team, but is being beaten by fans. In particular, some people in the industry reacted displeased with the part related to ‘baseball seniors’.
On this broadcast, Choo Shin-soo said, “There is something I want to say to baseball seniors. I was born early and played baseball early, so I am not a senior. You have to take off your feet about the unreasonable part. no one steps out It’s too bad. When juniors go the wrong way or do wron
It was a remark that came out of regret that baseball seniors are passive in raising their voices or leading changes if there is something unreasonable in the Korean baseball game. Actual retired baseball seniors, and even baseball players who are called adults in the baseball world, are not all words and actions to be applauded in society. If you know it, there have been many incidents in the baseball world in the past.
However, Choo Shin-soo’s words eventually made the sweat of seniors who are still exemplary in the baseball world in vain. Even as KBO president Heo Gu-yeon, he does not let go of the work of strengthening the grassroots of baseball by going around the national team itself. 스포츠토토 Even if you don’t see tangible results, keep doing it. He’s been that way ever since he was a commentator.
Former manager Lee Man-soo, who served as SK manager, is also one of the baseball players who still exerts a good influence on the baseball world through the Hulk Foundation, which bears his nickname. No one told him to, but he spread baseball to Southeast Asia and took the lead in globalization of baseball. Beyond Laos, they are spreading baseball to Vietnam. In Korea, they donate baseball equipment or donate their talents at their own expense.
In addition to this, there are many baseball players who are working hard for the future of Korean baseball in invisible places. Because there are baseball seniors like that, Korean baseball still goes around, and I get the power to move forward. As Choo Shin-soo said, not all baseball seniors are silent about the irrational parts that have occurred in Korean baseball.
I understand what Choo Shin-soo wanted to say. However, in the case of the national team, the KBO, the technical committee, and coach Lee Kang-cheol put up a 30-man entry after much consideration. Third parties can argue, but the remarks on the show have definitely crossed the line.
Choo Shin-soo was also a good senior in Korean baseball. After joining SSG, many industry insiders were moved by how much money he spent taking care of even the 2nd team players. However, with this incident, can juniors call Choo Shin-soo a ‘good senior’? Choo Shin-soo seems to have to reconsider what a good senior means.
