'General MacArthur' Jamie Mac (41), the legendary foreign hitter of SSG Landers, is set to land in Incheon.

On the 27th, SSG Landers will host a special first pitch and batting ceremony with Mac's family at their home game against Hanwha Eagles at Incheon SSG Landers Field. The team invited Mac, who served as a legendary foreign hitter for the club, to participate in the event.

This event was organized so that Mac, who is returning to Incheon for the first time since retiring in 2021, can share an emotional reunion with fans and commemorate the memories he left behind in the team's history.

Mac played as SSG's central hitter for five seasons from 2017 to 2021, making him the longest-serving foreign player in club history. He appeared in 626 career games, recording a batting average of .273, 155 home runs, and 409 RBIs. His 155 home runs remain the most by any foreign player in club history and rank fourth among all foreign players in KBO League history.

Notably, he led the team to a Korean Series championship in 2018. The number '27' he wore at the time of his retirement has become an iconic symbol for SSG's foreign hitters and is still worn by key foreign batters on the team today.

During All-Star events, Mac gained widespread fan affection by dressing up as General Douglas MacArthur, who led the Incheon Landing Operation during the Korean War, earning him the nickname 'General MacArthur.'

The event will be themed as a 'Homecoming Day' to reconnect with fans. A fan signing session with Mac will be held for selected attendees recruited in advance before the game. Prior to the start of the main match, Mac and his family will take the field together to throw the first pitch and hit the first ball, offering fans unforgettable memories while praying for victory.

Meanwhile, Mac is returning to Korea with his family to appear on MBC Every1's popular variety show 'Welcome to Korea, Is This Your First Time?' The program, featuring the Mac family's travel experiences in Korea, is scheduled to premiere on September 17 at 8:30 p.m. on MBC Every1.
