Shukkeien (Hiroshima, Japan – June 2013)

Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out any more

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.
