The players are also in an uproar. This is because the world-renowned entrepreneur and "billionaire" Jensen Huang (63), CEO of NVIDIA, is scheduled to visit Jamsil Baseball Stadium tomorrow (the 7th).

Doosan announced, "On the 7th at 5 p.m., during the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Seoul Jamsil Stadium, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will throw the ceremonial first pitch, and Park Jeong-won (Chairman) will take the ceremonial first hit."

Jensen Huang's visit to the baseball stadium has become a hot topic among players. On the 5th, after hitting the game-winning run in the Kiwoom game at Jamsil, Jo Su-haeng was asked by reporters about Huang's upcoming visit.

Jo Su-haeng responded, "We players are talking about it a lot. I really want to shake his hand," drawing laughter from those around him.

Jo Su-haeng added, "Even my family and people around me keep telling me to make sure to shake his hand. I think it's because we all want to receive some good energy. Of course, I'm not sure if we'll actually get to shake hands," while offering a kind smile.

Both Jensen Huang and Park Jeong-won, the team owner, are well known as entrepreneurs who have a special love for baseball.

Jensen Huang previously appeared as the ceremonial first pitcher at the "Taiwan Heritage Day" event hosted by the Oakland Athletics in May 2024. At that time, instead of his signature leather jacket, he wore an Oakland uniform with the number 93 and stepped onto the mound.

This time, he is also set to step onto the Jamsil mound wearing a Doosan uniform with the number 93. The number 93 holds special meaning. A Doosan official explained, "It represents 1993, the founding year of NVIDIA." In response, Chairman Park will swing a bat while wearing a Doosan uniform with the number 96. This number also carries significance. A Doosan official stated, "It signifies 1896, the founding year of Doosan."

Kim Won-hyung, the manager of the Doosan Bears, expressed his anticipation for Chairman Park's visit to Jamsil Stadium on the 7th, saying, "It will be a great boost for the team."

Meanwhile, Jensen Huang arrived in Korea on the 6th and began his official itinerary. That day, he visited the T1 base camp in Seoul Hongdae and met with Lee Sang-hyeok (Faker), a player for the professional esports team T1. In the evening, he enjoyed samgyeopsal and soju with SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Lee Sa-hoe (Chairman) at a nearby restaurant.
