Park Chul-soon throws the ball, and Lee Man-su catches it. The national anthem is sung by Lee Jong-beom.

The Ilgu Association, a registered non-profit corporation, announced that it has finalized the key official events for the "Jamsil The Last Inning by Renault" Legends Game to be held at 2 p.m. on the 14th at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

At the farewell game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on that day, the ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by managers Kim Eung-yong and Kim Seong-geun, living witnesses to the history of Korean professional baseball. The ceremonial first bat will be swung by Nicolas Paris, CEO of Renault Korea Motors, the tournament's main sponsor, and Jo Won-sang, head of the sales division.

Two retired player organizations representing Korean professional baseball will also present a stage of unity. Kim Gwang-su, president of the Ilgu Association (a non-profit corporation), and Lee Jong-beom, president of the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association (a non-profit corporation), will lead the singing of the national anthem side by side in front of home plate, after which all players lined up on the field will join in. This is a special program carrying the message of unity that "even though our uniforms were different, we are one baseball community."

Another symbolic scene unfolds as the game begins. With Dong-gun taking the field for defense first, Park Chul-soon, the MVP of the inaugural 1982 professional baseball season and a legend of the OB Bears, takes the mound as the starting pitcher, while Lee Man-su, the famous catcher of the Samsung Lions who won the batting triple crown in 1984, dons the mask.

The Ilgu Association stated, "The 'Jamsil The Last Inning by Renault' Legends Game is not merely a friendly match, but an occasion where baseball figures who have made the history of Korean professional baseball come together to express their gratitude to fans." It added, "Through the ceremonial pitches by the two veteran managers, the national anthem sung by all players, and the starting appearances of stars from the inaugural season, we will meaningfully mark the final chapter of Jamsil Baseball Stadium."

The game will be broadcast live on KBS and Naver Chizik. Ticket sales for this tournament began at 2 p.m. on the 2nd via Ticketlink, and all seats have been sold out.
