As he delivered his farewell speech as the "national power hitter," Park Byung-ho's eyes grew moist, but the microphone suddenly cut out.


At the retirement ceremony held on the 26th at Gocheok Sky Dome, Park Byung-ho (40, Kiwoom Heroes reserve team coach), who was leaving the field he had grown fond of, finally showed tears in his eyes.



It was not just the Kiwoom Heroes organization; even the opposing team, Samsung Lions, where Park Byung-ho once played, went beyond a simple farewell to send off the senior player's final journey with a heartfelt "special gift."

In fact, the tears erupted in the United States.

Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants), who expressed his respect through a pre-produced video at the retirement ceremony, shared his choked-up feelings alongside a photo of Park Byung-ho shedding tears on the live broadcast screen, writing, "Thank you for all your hard work. You are the best senior."
