LG Twins, which uses Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium as its home field, is commemorating its final year at Jamsil by inviting special guests.

On the 17th, the LG club announced that it will hold the 'Classic Day in Jamsil' event during weekend home games against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium from the 19th to the 21st.

'Classic Day in Jamsil' was planned to commemorate the final season at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, offering nostalgia to veteran fans and a unique experience for new fans.

During the three-game classic series, both teams will wear classic uniforms. Songs chosen by the players themselves from before 2010 will be played as entrance music. Additionally, specially designed classic-style tickets and stickers with a retro vibe will be distributed, and the cheer squad is also expected to wear 'classic uniforms.'

The dress code for this series has been set to 'classic uniforms,' with plans for many fans to also wear retro uniforms to enhance the atmosphere. A photo zone will be installed in the first-base infield plaza, and on-site events such as a retro DJ booth at the outfield catchball area will be held.

After the weekend games, various events including fireworks, laser shows, DJ parties, and a cheer squad stage will be presented.

To commemorate Classic Day, the LG club selected significant figures from the team's history as first-pitchers.

On the 19th, 'La Bang' LG Futures League Manager Lee Byung-kyu will throw the first pitch. Manager Lee Byung-kyu was drafted first overall in 1997 and played as the franchise star until the 2016 season, leaving behind countless records including two batting titles, seven Golden Gloves, and the KBO's oldest cycle hit. He is a retired number legend. Last year, he took command of the LG Futures League team.

Manager Lee Byung-kyu shared his thoughts on the first pitch, saying, "It is a new feeling to throw the first pitch at Classic Day held at the final Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Go LG Twins!"

On the 20th, commentator Lee Dae-hyeong, known as 'Super Sonic,' who ran across Jamsil Baseball Stadium with his speed during his playing days and won four stolen base titles and one Golden Glove, will appear as the first-pitcher.

Commentator Lee Dae-hyeong joined the team in the second round of the 2003 draft and wore the LG uniform until 2013. After retiring, he has been active as a commentator for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) and in numerous baseball variety programs. Commentator Lee Dae-hyeong stated, "It is an honor and a grateful feeling to be able to wear the LG uniform again and stand on the ground of the final Jamsil Baseball Stadium."

On the final day, the 21st, 'Jamsil Rival Couple,' known as passionate LG fan and writer Kim Eun-hee and Doosan fan and manager Jang Hang-jun, will take turns throwing the first pitch and hitting the first pitch, respectively. Writer Kim Eun-hee said, "It is a family honor to be able to throw the first pitch in the final year of Jamsil Baseball Stadium, which is filled with precious memories," and added, "Either my husband or I will become the victory fairy, but I hope it is me, so I will prepare diligently for the first pitch."
