[200601955 Won Duho] the first draft

The Two Legends in Korean Baseball     The best baseball players made a debut for Korean baseball league in 1993.  They were Lee Jongbeom and Yang Junhyuck.  They were outstanding players when they were rookie. All the fans were surprising at their fantastic play. They are competed in rookie award and Yang Junhyuck won the award. However, when their teams met in the Korean series in their rookie season Lee Jongbeom led his team to win the Korean series and he won the Korean MVP. I think it is hard to distinguish their superiority when they were rookie. After that, they became a good rival each other.   They must have been the best player in Korean baseball league, but their play style was quite different. First of all, Lee Jongbeom's position was a shortstop. He was more famous for defense than batting. He was good at running. He ran 100 meter in 11 seconds. Thanks to his speed, he caught almost all of the balls in his areas. He was the best shortstop in history of Korean baseball league, but he is also the best hitter. He has the largest hit record and stolen base record a season. According to KBO (Korean Baseball Organization), he hit 196 hits and stole 84 bases in 1994. In contrast, Yang Junhyuck was not good at defense but he was a homerun hitter. He was famous his unique batting style which is hurrah batting style. When he batted, he threw his hands up in the air, as if he hurrahed. Despite his rough batting style, he has largest homerun and hit record during his carrier. According to KBO, he hit 350 homeruns and 2280 hits. I think his record is hard to break in 100 years.    They are player of quite different style; however, they have something in common. They have a lot of fans who thinks they are the best baseball player in Korea. People who do not know baseball even know their name, Lee Jongbeom and Yang Junhyuck. Another same thing is that similar to Yang Junhyuck, Lee Jongbeom hit a lot of homerun although he is not homerun hitter and he had a small frame. He always hit homerun more than 20 and his best record is 30 homerun a season. They are well known for their hustle play Lee jongbeom always dived to catch a ball or steal a base so his uniform was always dirty and Yang Junhyuck was always dead run for the first base, although he was definitely out. Finally, they are the anchor of their team. They were not simply a player of their team, they are revered as a father and coach in their team.   They were in competition with a good faith and thanks to their good rival, they can be the best player in Korean baseball history. Unfortunately, Yang Junhyuck, however, announced his retirement in this season to give opportunity for other young players to play, although he was one of the best players in the league. Not only his fans were sorrowful but also all the baseball fans were sad. Lee jongbeom was also truly sorry about his retirement. Even though we can see his paly anymore, his passion for baseball lives in the baseball fans' mind.
