Beyond autumn baseball in eight years, the record for the largest number of spectators in the club's history is not far away. It is also a unique record for the Lotte Giants.
Lotte won 11-5 against the NC Dinos in Busan on the 31st of last month and achieved winning in the last three consecutive series.
Already, the gap between the fourth and five games has widened, and the third place is solid. Rather, it is a sniper's position that can surpass the second-place LG Twins and the first-place Hanwha Eagles at any time.
Grades are not the only thing. Lotte recorded a total of 1,091,988 spectators until this day. It is a remarkable performance with an average attendance of nearly 21,000 per game in 52 home games this season.
The record for the most spectators in a single season in Lotte's history was in 2009 under former coach Jerry Royster. At that time, Lotte recorded a home cumulative audience of 1,3818.

There are 21 home games left, and the atmosphere is heating up as it approaches the end. Above all, autumn baseball is finally in sight for the first time in eight years since 2017. In addition to the existing Yoon Go-na Hwang-son, young players, such as Lee Min-seok, Hong Min-ki, Han Tae-yang, and Park Chan-hyung, have been active one after another, creating a flow of teams. With Jeon Joon-woo as the batter and Kim Won-joong as the pitcher, the weight of existing veterans also stands out. Yoon Sung-bin, who had not played his role for a long time, has now stretched himself.
Foreign batter Reyes and ace Gamboa, who were substituted, are also outstanding. However, Davison's sluggish performance, one of the foreign pitchers, is a concern.
In the previous day's game, Davidson was sluggish with five hits and four runs in five innings. The number of pitches he pitched until the fifth inning reached 88. Eventually, the bullpen was activated from the sixth inning.

Fortunately, Son Ho-young, who hit his first grand slam in his life, and Jang Doo-sung Han Tae-yang won after devastating the NC mound with 11 hits and nine outs, but it is regrettable in many ways that he consumed Choi Joon-yong and Jung Chul-won, a must-win group.
Lotte is also likely to record an average of 20,000 home spectators for the first time in 13 years since 2012. It's literally 'a feast' How far can manager Kim Tae-hyung, who declared a "full-fledged war", take Lotte in the regular season and in the fall baseball.
