A happy meeting between a professional baseball player and a fan.

Lee Won-seok of the Hanwha Eagles received a very meaningful memorial ball back to him.

Lee Won-seok made his debut in the match against the Doosan Bears at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 1st of last month. It was meaningful that it was Lee Won-seok's first grand slam, but it was the first grand slam from Hanwha Life Ball Park, so it became even more meaningful. Hanwha Life Ballpark opened this season.




It is meaningful, but it is not the player's first home run or a home run with a huge record, but the club did not collect the ball.

However, this ball returned to Lee Won-seok's arms in about a month. Luckily, Hanwha fan caught the home run ball, and he told the club that he wanted to return the ball to Lee Won-seok.
