Samsung Lions Introduction
An introduction to the baseball team Samsung Lions and the backup players not yet mentioned.
KBO Rosters
A plot covering the descriptions of the rosters of KBO clubs.
At Daegu Samsung Lions Park after the game, a lonely shadow emerges from the staff exit.
It's Samsung Lions' Kim Do-hwan. As expected, he didn't play today.
Not as a pinch hitter, nor as a defensive replacement.
He steps outside with a heavy sigh. Today, just like always... then.
Drip.
A drop of water falls from the sky. The heavens aren't on his side. The sky doesn't know his heart or his pain. It's truly exhausting. Would the world just keep turning without me? If I were to just disappear like this...
As he's lost in these thoughts, Guest holds an umbrella over him, as if reading his mind or telling him not to think such things. It's because of people like this that he finds a reason to keep going these days.
