'Have you come to hit 500 home runs~'
Doosan Yang Eui-ji greeted SSG Choi Jung, who will take his first at-bat in the first inning with a 90-degree greeting full of respect. Choi Jeong-do, who received greetings, smiled brightly and expressed his gratitude for Yang Eui-ji's congratulations.
The third face-off of the season between SSG and Doosan at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 20th was caught catching the eye from the first inning.
Yang Eui-ji greeted the folder in an attentive position when Choi Jeong, the third batter, took the batter's box with two outs in the top of the first inning when the score was 0-0.
Choi Jung-eun hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning in a home game against NC in Munhak on the 13th to achieve his first career 500th home run in KBO history.
After hitting a two-run home run against LG in Jamsil on the 2nd and his first at-bat, he hit home runs against LG on the 4th, Lotte on the 5th, and KIA on the 10th, respectively, and hit home runs in three days against NC in Munhak on the 13th to occupy the 500 mark. Since then, he has added two homers, bringing his total number of homers to 502.
Considering that he was born in 1987, he is the same age as Yang Eui-ji, but Choi Jung made his professional debut with the one born in 1986, and his debut in 2005 is a year earlier than Yang Eui-ji.

Yang Eui-ji, who started as the third batter catcher, succeeded in getting on base from his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning.
Yang Eui-ji, like Choi Jung, was aiming for the first pitch from his first at-bat. A sharp hit that hit the first pitch of opposing starter Jeon Young-joon headed toward third base. Coincidentally, it was where Choi Jeong was located. Choi Jung-eun tried to short-bound this ball, but failed to put it in her glove, recording an error. Doosan, which had a chance to get a first base with one out from the first inning, failed to score first due to a failed follow-up hitter.

SSG, who finished the inning without losing a point, and Choi Jung, who was heading to the dugout, made eye contact with Yang Eui-ji, who was between the first and second bases, and exchanged smiles. It was a good scene to see each other respecting each other and doing their best in the midst of a fierce match.
Yang Eui-ji hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning when he was trailing 1-4 and headed home around the third base where Choi Jung was located in a calm manner. Doosan eventually lost in the bottom of the ninth inning when Kim Jae-hwan struck out with two outs and a full base chance, trailing 3-5. SSG, which won 5-3, won three consecutive games to move to fourth place alone, while Doosan fell into a quagmire for four consecutive losses.
