The Immortal .400 Hitter Who Led a Lineup Full of Opportunities and Exciting Baseball [Lee Jong-seong's Sports Culture & Industry]
Baek Incheon (aged 83), who passed away on the 15th, Liberation Day, was a baseball figure who left significant marks in both Korea and Japan. This is why obituary articles about him poured out not only in Korea but also in Japan. When he became the batting champion in 1982, the inaugural year of Korean professional baseball, his batting average was .412. To this day, his .400 batting average is regarded as an unbreakable record among all records produced in Korean professional baseball. As a ma
