LG Twins, facing their final regular season home game at Jamsil Stadium, will invite two legends to perform ceremonial first pitches. Before the game, they will also take a final group photo with the Doosan Bears players, who have shared the same roof for years.

LG announced on the 5th that “Lee Byung-gyu (52), Futures League Manager, and Park Yong-taek (47), commentator, will perform ceremonial first pitches to wish for victory at the final regular season home game against Doosan, scheduled for the 7th at Seoul Jamsil Stadium.”

Both men are franchise stars symbolizing LG. Lee Byung-gyu, Futures League Manager, is the owner of LG’s retired number 9, and Park Yong-taek, commentator, is also a representative legend who spent his entire active career with only one team, LG. The two plan to hold an autograph session before their pitches to share final memories at Jamsil with fans.

Lee Byung-gyu, Futures League Manager, said, “I am happy to perform the ceremonial first pitch at LG Twins’ final home game at Jamsil Stadium. There were many good memories, and I enjoyed many moments with the fans. It is a pity that this place will no longer exist, but LG Twins’ baseball will not stop, so please continue to support us.”

Park Yong-taek, commentator, also conveyed, “We may now have to bury Jamsil Stadium in our memories, but it is an honor to perform the ceremonial first pitch at the final home game here, where I nurtured big dreams and sweated toward them. I am always a Twin. LG Twins, fighting!”

For LG as well, it is a point in time when they must lift the team’s atmosphere again. As of the end of the game on the 5th, LG sits in fourth place with a record of 75 wins, 1 draw, and 63 losses. The team has fallen into an eight-game losing streak, trailing third-place KIA by one game. Therefore, the final Jamsil home game against Doosan carries not only nostalgic significance but also the meaning of turning around the atmosphere at the end of the season.

Before the game, the LG and Doosan players, who have shared Jamsil for a long period, will gather to take a group photo. Following this, Cha Myung-seok (57), LG General Manager, will personally deliver bouquets of flowers in gratitude to those who have guarded Jamsil Stadium from behind the scenes, including grounds maintenance, dining services, cleaning, and facility management.

Events will continue after the game as well. A large tumbler performance will be staged on the outfield ground, and a video featuring historic moments LG created at Jamsil and fans’ memories will be shown on the scoreboard. After delivering a postseason departure message and words of gratitude, the final regular season home game at Jamsil will close with fireworks and post-game cheering support.

All attending spectators will receive commemorative magnetic toppers. Memory walls and photo zones will be set up throughout the stadium, and among the messages left by fans, the players will directly select three impressive writings and gift the authors LG CineBeam Cubes.

A ‘Goodbye Jamsil’ pop-up exhibition will be held next to the central ticket office, and a collaboration pop-up store will operate at the outfield catchball field, showcasing final Jamsil commemorative goods and various character collaboration products.
