Korean, American, and Japanese professional baseball legends have prepared special events for Asian baseball fans in November and December.
In Seoul, South Korea and the U.S., and in Tokyo, Japan and U.S. Legends will meet to celebrate the world baseball heritage.
The formation of the U.S. legend team is led by Luis Alisea, who played in 1341 games in 13 seasons in the Major League.
Ozzy Smith (13 consecutive Gold Glove Awards, 15th All-Star selection, 1982 World Series championship), who earned the nickname 'The Wizard' after 19 seasons in the Major League, will join as coach.
The list of major league legends participating as players is also spectacular. More than 50 former big league stars, including Manny Ramirez, who hit 555 home runs in the major leagues, Rick Ankyl, Miguel Teada and Jose Contreras, expressed their intention to participate. In addition, huge players well-known to Korean fans are waiting to join the team.
Alisea will visit Korea with Manny Ramirez in May to unveil the entire roster and hold an official press conference to announce the purpose and vision of the series. In particular, Alisea and American legends will meet Korean legends in person during this period to discuss various cooperation measures that the legends of the two countries can achieve through baseball in the future.
The Korean team consists of KBO League Legend members belonging to the association through an agreement with the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association. Many members are gathering their will to participate in a positive direction.
The event's Korean organizers 'Cube Nest & Co.' and 'Studio Written' will be `an event with a deep meaning of donation, social contribution, and support for the development of Korean and Japanese youth baseball beyond just an event,' he said. `Players are looking forward to a special festival that shows the power of baseball to unite people across generations and borders" he said.
