"W.S GO→'Let’s Go to the World Series,' It Seems!" U.S. Reporter Explodes with Hopes Over Woo-seok Ko's Signing

As 28-year-old Woo-seok Ko departs the Detroit Tigers to continue his Major League Baseball (MLB) challenge in a Minnesota Twins uniform, an American reporter offered cheerful praise for the "fateful combination" created by his jersey number and name.

On the 8th (Korean time), the Minnesota Twins announced that they have officially registered Woo-seok Ko on their 26-man MLB roster. Previously active in the Detroit Tigers' minor league system, Woo-seok activated an "Upward Mobility Clause" in his contract. With Minnesota urgently needing bullpen reinforcement, the team acquired him via a cash trade, resulting in his call-up to the big leagues. The news broke on the 6th, and the Twins officially confirmed it on the 8th.

The most eye-catching detail of this joining is the jersey number "1" assigned to Woo-seok. It is an extremely unusual number for a pitcher and is said to be a symbolic number that has found its owner only three years after infielder Nick Gordon in 2023, marking the first time since then in Minnesota Twins history.

Upon hearing this news, Mike Petriello, a reporter for MLB.com, immediately poured out his admiration. Through his social media, Petriello expressed his excitement, saying, "All of these combinations are just perfect (Cool)." He added, "First of all, it is incredibly cool for a pitcher to wear the number 1. Plus, it matches the Minnesota home uniform design perfectly," giving him a thumbs-up.

He particularly snapped his fingers over Woo-seok's English name spelling, "W. S. Go." Petriello remarked, "His name 'W. S. GO' engraved on the jersey looks like a powerful incantation: 'World Series, Go!'" He concluded with a cheerful interpretation, saying, "Really, everything is cool."

In addition to the so-called "twin parallel theory" connecting his former Korean team, the LG Twins, to the U.S. Minnesota Twins, fans in America are also enthusiastic about the evaluation that his name itself has become a perfect sentence pointing toward victory. However, during the game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 8th, Woo-seok unfortunately remained in the bullpen and did not get an opportunity to appear on the mound.

Woo-seok, who finally stepped onto his dream stage after enduring the tears-soaked bread of the minor leagues, now has the eyes of baseball fans worldwide focused on him. Just as Petriello's pleasant praise suggested, all are watching to see if he can perfectly dominate Minnesota's mound while wearing jersey number 1.
