"After a long time, the Eagles are flying the highest. Let's take the top spot!"

Since I am good at baseball, I can't help but open my wallet. 'Mr. Chairman' gave a big present.

The Hanwha Eagles squad received a 'surprise gift' ahead of the final game of the first half against the KIA Tigers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 10th.




The person who sent the gift was Chairman Kim Seung-yeon of Hanwha Group. Chairman Kim delivered special encouragement for the players and executives who confirmed the first place in the first half of the KBO League in 33 years.

Chairman Kim wished for good health in the hot summer by presenting T-bone steak to the Futures League players and all staff as well as the first-round team that led the first place. In addition to this, he even delivered high-end wireless earphones to the first-team squad and staff who have a lot of movement between games, asking them to use them for power analysis and rest.

Chairman Kim wrote on his handwritten signature card, `After a long time of acknowledgment, the Eagles are flying the highest. In the second half of the year, let's take the top spot with a higher emergency!" conveyed Ngwin's message.

Chairman Kim's love for the Eagles is already widely known. He watched home games nine times last season and four times this season and cheered with his fans. Last year, he presented mobile smart TVs to all the first-team players to pray for good performance.

The Hanwha team thanked Chairman Kim for his encouragement and pledged a good performance in the second half of the year. Captain Chae Eun-sung said, "From the support for the construction of the new stadium to the gifts of the team, all the team members are grateful for the chairman's affectionate support."We will do our best to meet the support of all Hanwha Group executives and employees, including the chairman, and Eagles fans in the second half of the year."

Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who met before the game, also said, `I am grateful that the chairman gave gifts to our players and staff. I'll take it as a sign of working harder, and I'll show my strength" he said.
