Chapter 536 – Episode 528. Great Record. (2)
-A bloody fight in the rain! AT Thunders win 8-7 over Charlotte Blue Mariners!
… Meanwhile, it was 43-year-old batsman Woo Kwan-hyung who decided on the victory that day. In the top of the 8th inning, Woo Kwan-hyung, who entered the game as a pinch hitter with no runners out and one out, hit 3 pitches from Charlotte’s closer Song Jae-yeol and hit his first home run of the season over the right field wall, scoring the 8th run.
This home run by Kwan-Hyung Woo was his first home run of the season and his 400th home run in total…
┗Fuck, Kwan-hyung trusted you!!!!!!!!
┗That’s my brother who won the Korean Series MVP last yearㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
┗ Wow, I ended up hitting number 400 with Jamsil Home ㄷㄷ
┗┗Honestly, I didn’t think I would retire after not being able to hit it lol
┗┗Me too haha
┗┗ㅈㄹ LOL Woo Kwan-hyung, that bastard cares so much about records, but he didn’t even retire to hit 400. What kind of bullshit is that LOL If he keeps playing poorly, he won’t retire LOL
┗┗Even on a day like this, I am slandering kkkk
┗┗This is bullshit. They say they are retiring after this season and are preparing for a retirement tour. This is just a bunch of slander.
┗┗But honestly, I thought you guys would retire last year after eating Cosimvf. You didn’t retire just to become #400 this season.
… Meanwhile, the game ended in a rain call after the bottom of the 8th inning, resulting in the AT Thunders losing to the Charlotte Blue Mariners by 1 point. … …
┗Why aren’t they playing until the 9th inning? Those damn bastards bribed the referee. That should be enough.
┗┗It’s a home?
┗┗You can’t buy if it’s home? Haha. It’s home so you can buy. It’s our home, so why does it end in a disadvantageous situation?
┗┗Because it’s raining.
┗┗ㅈㄹㄴ It’s been raining so hard for a while now, and it’s obvious that they’re trying to make us win the AT somehow, right? LOL
┗┗Hmm… Even if we lose today, we have 57 wins and are 10 games behind the second place team, so why buy…? Hmm…
┗┗ㄹㅇ It’s not a very important game for us, so what kind of buy-in is there?
┗┗You must have accumulated 57 wins like that, you idiots.
-The third great record in Korean baseball, set by Woo Gwan-hyeong, the man of records.
… Woo Gwan-hyung hit his 400th home run, becoming the third batter to hit more than 400 home runs in the KBA League. The first batter to hit his 400th home run was ‘national hero’ Joo Hyung-jin. Joo Hyung-jin hit 432 home runs in Korea, adding 167 home runs in the major leagues to a total of 599 home runs.
The second record of his 400th home run was recorded by Choi Jin-cheol, a ‘man of great strength’. Choi Jin-cheol, who is also Woo Gwan-hyeong’s teammate, has hit 434 home runs in Korea and is currently ranked first in the league in home runs. Choi Jin-cheol also has 464 home runs, with 30 home runs in his career in the major leagues, with at least two years remaining until his retirement. He is expected to hit 500 home runs in his career.
Joo Hyung-jin and Choi Jin-cheol. Both batters are leaving their names in the history of Korean baseball home runs. Joo Hyung-jin was the home run king for 7 consecutive seasons, and Choi Jin-cheol was the home run king 4 times and is a representative home run player who advanced to the major leagues.
However, Woo Kwan-hyung has never been the home run king. Woo Kwan-hyung’s highest home run record is 26. Although it is a great result, it is shabby compared to the previous two batters. The reason Woo Kwan-hyung was able to hit his 400th home run was consistency. Woo Kwan-hyung debuted in 2002…
Now, the likely batters who will challenge for the 400th home run are future Lee Jin-hong, who hit 375 home runs, and UG’s Koo Jin-mo, who hit 366 home runs. Kang Han-Beom also has 345 of his 489 career home runs in the KBA League, but as he is approaching retirement…
┗No. 400 ㅊㅋㅊㅋ
┗ Wow, in the end, Woo Gwan-hyung hit his 400th home run. Didn’t the number of stolen bases stop at 400? 400-400 is a lot haha
┗┗Woo Gwan-hyung, the thing that gives me goosebumps is that his stolen bases stopped at 400 hahas. He is a man of ‘records’ as expected haha
┗┗ㄹㅇ A bastard who is crazy about stats haha
┗ 400 in Jamsil
┗Honestly, I’ve cursed a lot so far, but the record is crazy haha
┗┗You had no conscience when you cursed at Woo Gwan-hyung, huh? Honestly, if Woo Kwan-hyung had abandoned AT and gone to another team, he would have surpassed 400 a long time ago.
┗If you look at his records, he is the best hitter in the KBA league haha
┗┗Honestly, it’s meaningless. Kids who are good at it say they go to the majors or go to Japan. Honestly, if Choi Joo-tae hadn’t gone to the majors, I think I would have hit 4,000 hits haha
┗┗ㅇㅈ
┗Honestly, unless it’s a case like Joo Hyeong-jin, number 400 is unknown. How bad do you have to be to not be called overseas even once during the 400 times? It’s just a record.
┗┗Only Joo Hyung-jin or Kang Han-beom should acknowledge this record haha
┗┗What about Choi Jin-cheol? I went to a major
┗┗Choi Jin-cheol gets eaten lol
┗You can just congratulate him, it’s so fucking screwed up lol Anyway, Woo Kwan-hyung #400 ㅊㅊ
┗Wow, my brother, in his later years, has completely let go of all the shit he has been doing lol. With 3,000 hits and a total of 400-400 in KosipaM. Haha, my brother will have to live with the fierce god of tigers. Haha,
┗┗ㄹㅇ Woo Gwan-hyung’s life has been great since coming to Fierce Protector haha
┗┗So I heard you gave me the MVP watch last time?
┗┗Really? I see you wearing a different watch on your way to and from work? Isn’t Cosi’s watch a Rolex?
┗┗The Fierce Protector watch is more expensive haha

Clap clap clap!
Before the game started, I felt something strange when I saw Charlotte’s coach and Kang Han-beom come out and congratulate Kwan Hyeong on his 400th home run. I was jealous, and I also felt a great sense of congratulations because when I first joined the team, we did finish training together. And among those complex emotions, the thing that occupied the biggest part of my mind was curiosity.
How does senior Kwan Hyeong, who played for one team for over 20 years and hit his 400th home run, feel now?
“Senior, how are you feeling now? 400 Honde? “Do you like it when you win, or do you like it now?”
How to answer questions right away. As soon as the small celebration was over and senior Kwanhyung returned to the dugout, I immediately asked him a question.
“Are you saying it’s a horse? Of course, it was better when we won, right?”
“Is winning that much? Is it because they do it every year? I think number 400 would be better.”
“Truly, Meng Hao. Are you making fun of me now?”
“Hey, why am I making fun of you?”
Since the championship was an annual event, she asked such a question, but when she saw Senior Kwan Hyeong make a puzzled expression, it was a bit new to her.
400th home run. Now that this is a post, it is a record that can only be achieved by hitting 100 home runs every year. Since I hit 166, if I want to get over 400…
“I need to hit 234 more to get to 400…”
“Why? “Should I take 400 before I go to America?”
“How can you hit 200 in two years? Even if Bones comes, I can’t hit him.”
“Just go to the major and come back and play.”
Well, I think I might be able to play in Korea for about a season during my retirement season. Still, I had an appointment with Mr. Rossby, so I wasn’t planning on coming until he became the best baseball player of all time.
“Then I can get over 90 this season, 90 next year, go to the majors, and then hit about 90 during my retirement season.”
“90 home runs… It’s Meng Hao. “You might be able to do it.”
When senior Kwan Hyeong heard the words 90 home runs, he looked ridiculous, but then he said that it could be possible if it were me.
‘Honestly, 100 home runs is a bit too much, but if I hit it well, I think 90 home runs might be possible?’
“Well, as long as you don’t filter it.”
If I don’t filter it, I think I can hit around 90.
“But you get one or two at-bats every day. If you hit a home run every time, you can do it. “It’s Meng Hao.”
Perhaps because I looked a little dispirited, senior Gwan Hyeong said something nice to hear.
“Hmm… “I will try my best.”
Although he said this, he honestly knew that it would be difficult. If baseball was as good as it sounds, there would be no way senior Kwan Hyung would have won a championship or even advanced to fall baseball for 20 years.
“… “What’s your expression?”
“Yes?! “It’s nothing.”
To be honest, even if I was just a senior at Sangju, I would have said my true feelings right away, but senior Gwanhyung helped me a lot.
Anyway, seeing the 400th home run celebration event made me want to hit a home run, too. Today, I felt like I should actively aim only for balls that could hit a home run.
‘Because today’s starter is Eric Bourne… Four-seam, slack, curve? I won’t throw any curves… I’ll have to try a slider.’
And then the game started. In the top of the first inning, with two outs and first base, it was my turn to bat.
‘The first pitch is a fastball.’
‘Okay. I have to throw away all fastballs unless they are perfect balls.’
My goal is always a home run. I was confident enough to pass the fastball if it came in a good position, but it might not work out well, so I decided to skip it if it wasn’t a position I was good at hitting.
“Ball.”
And the pitcher’s first pitch is a ball.
‘It’s a slider.’
The ball he chose this time was a slider.
“Ball.”
However, because the ball was far outside the zone, he was unable to bat. The fifth time to let the ball flow while waiting for such a good ball.
“Base on balls.”
I was waiting for a good pitch and ended up having no choice but to get on base with a walk.
‘Ah, fuck. Just play like you normally do.’
