The retired players' association Ilguhoe said on Oct 7 that it will hold “Jamsil The Last Inning by Renault” at 2 PM on Nov 14 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. The association said the event is meant to look back on the 44-year history of the stadium, which opened in 1982, and to let players and fans share memories. Hankook Ilbo reported that the stadium will be demolished after this season. [ 1 , 4 ]
About 60 retired players representing different eras and clubs are expected to take part, according to the reports. They include Park Chul-soon and Lee Man-soo from the KBO's first year, as well as Song Jin-woo, Lee Jong-beom, Lee Seung-yeop, Park Yong-taek, Lee Dae-ho and Kim Tae-kyun. Dong-A Ilbo also listed Lee Byung-kyu among the participants. Players from Ilguhoe and the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association will take the field together. [ 1 , 4 , 6 ]
The programme includes a legends game along with a fan autograph session, a ground experience and a final ceremony by the players, the reports said. Yonhap described the events as a way of revisiting memories of the stadium. [ 1 , 4 ]
Ilguhoe said in a statement that Jamsil Baseball Stadium was “a stage on which players unfolded their dreams and a special space where countless joys, sorrows and memories accumulated for fans”, adding that it hopes the event will complete the stadium's final page together. [ 1 , 4 ]
The outlets differ on the date. Yonhap, Hankook Ilbo, Newsis and Dong-A Ilbo give Nov 14, while Chosun Ilbo, citing OSEN, reports Nov 4 at 2 PM. The documents do not explain the discrepancy. Chosun Ilbo and Newsis also carried brief reports without the full programme details. [ 2 , 3 , 5 ]
Beyond the demolition line in Hankook Ilbo's report, the documents do not state what will happen to the site after the event, and they list only some of the roughly 60 players expected to attend. [ 4 ]
Por qué importa
The event gathers figures from each era of the KBO at a venue that has hosted the league since its first season, so it marks the end of a chapter for Korean professional baseball. The stadium's planned demolition, reported by one outlet, would also remove a long-standing venue in Seoul. The documents give no further details on what replaces it.
