Lee must be happy to play in the most beautiful ballpark in the world.
Lee's new major league team is the San Francisco Giants.
Local media in the United States reported Lee's move to San Francisco on the 13th (KST). The contract is more shocking than expected. It was a six-year, $113 million (approx. 14.83 billion won) 'ultra-lucrative' contract. Despite being one of the best hitters in the KBO, not many people predicted that Lee would enter the major leagues under such favorable conditions.
Now, the focus is on what kind of team he will play for in San Francisco. The Giants are a prestigious team in the National League West. The team has won eight World Series titles since its founding in 1883.
When you think of San Francisco, you think of Barry Bonds, the home run king. When Bonds hit a single-season record 73 home runs in the 2001 season, baseball fans around the world focused on San Francisco. The previous records of 71 and 72 were held by Chan Ho Park of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bonds also holds the record for most career home runs with 763, but he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves due to his drug use.
Hwang Jae-gyun (KT). After signing a split contract with San Francisco in the 2017 season, Hwang faced an uphill battle, but he was determined to make it to the big leagues and hit home runs. He hit a picture-perfect home run in his major league debut. He returned to the KBO after just one season, but he left a strong impression on fans.
Kim Byung-hyun also wore a San Francisco uniform briefly from February to March 2010, when he was at the end of his big league career. 토토사이트
The Giants are represented by their home stadium. It is now Oracle Park. The American IT company Oracle won the naming rights for the 2019 season. The stadium opened in 2000 as Pacific Bell Park, and its right-field bleachers are impressive for their direct access to the waters of McCovey Bay. When a home run is hit over the fence, the ball splashes into the water. It's a spectacular sight to see fans waiting for the ball on boats and yachts every game.
The stadium is right on the water, so the view from the top of the stadium is spectacular. It's no exaggeration to say that it's the most beautiful baseball stadium in the world. The neon Coke bottle sign in left field is a specialty.
Whether it's because of Bonds or his home runs into the ocean in right field, the stadium has a strong lefty-friendly image. In fact, the distance to the right field foul pole is only 94 meters. It"s actually only 94 meters to the right field foul pole. However, it's not as "hitter-friendly" as Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies, because of its high walls and the wind that blows in from McCovey Bay.
