Not a KBO game (according to A.I.)

kia tigers kim jin-woo pitcher Lee Bum-ho 이범호 3b

Kim Jin-woo (김진우 – pitcher) and Lee Bum-ho (이범호 – 3b) for the Kia Tigers back in 2013

My random, desktop image of the day was this one. I tried to get A.I. to tell me who the players are, and the results were horrible. A.I. insisted this photo is from a MLB game, even after I told it who the teams were, the location, and the date.

Traditional search methods got me the answers I was looking for. Kim Jin-woo grew up in Gwangju before playing 13 seasons with his hometown team. Lee Bum-ho slugged 329 home runs during his 20-year career in the KBO. He went zero for six on this evening, though, and the game ended in a 4-4 tie so the Tigers could have really used one.

… Wheel me out to the car…

Did you know? At KBO games it’s not only a BYOB situation, you can actually bring in entire coolers loaded with ice and hard alcohol! In the above case, it appears the cooler is loaded with soju (소주) which is usually 20-40% alcohol and very inexpensive.

They actually have a beer-chugging contest on the dugout between innings. The winner receives a free case of beer and the applause of thousands.
