SK Wyverns’ player rounds third, salutes the third base coach, and heads for home after hitting a home run

October begins, and with it comes the grand finale in most professional baseball leagues. My A’s are still alive and well in the major leagues. My KIA Tigers in Korea tanked it big time. They were contenders a week or two after I arrived in Gwangju, but have won very few games since. The SK Wyverns lost to the Lotte Giants the night I saw this game despite this home run.

The playoffs are set for the 2013 Korean Professional Baseball (KPB) postseason, and they will not include the Tigers, Giants, or Wyverns.
