The Samsung club officially announced on the 6th that Oh Seung-hwan has decided to retire after this season. Oh Seung-hwan held a meeting with Lions owner and CEO Yoo Jeong-geun at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu over the weekend and expressed his intention to retire at the end of this season.
Samsung decided to permanently replace Oh Seung-hwan's jersey number 21, which he had worn so far, for the fourth time in history after Lee Man-soo (22), Yang Jun-hyuk (10), and Lee Seung-yeop (36), and decided to accompany the first-team squad without registering for entry in the first team from the 7th. After consultation with KBO and other teams, they will also hold a retirement tour and play a retirement game at the end of the season.
However, the first retirement tour will be held the day after Oh Seung-hwan's retirement announcement. It will be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon.
The SSG club was embarrassed when it heard the news of Oh Seung-hwan's decision to retire. This is because the next day, the 7th, is the last Incheon match of this season against Samsung.
In other words, if Oh fails to hold his retirement tour on the 7th, Oh will not be able to say goodbye to his fans in Incheon.
Samsung and SSG teams urgently communicated with each other and talked about the event, but due to too little time, they decided to hold a simple retirement tour event.
Before the start of the game, SSG captain Kim Kwang-hyun delivered a bouquet to Oh Seung-hwan and the teams of both teams decided to take a group photo. Kim Kwang-hyun is scheduled to be the starting pitcher on the 7th, so the event will be held at 5:53 p.m.
Unfortunately, the retirement gifts of players, the highlight of the retirement tour, will be delivered next time. Judging that it was difficult to prepare meaningful gifts in one day, it was decided to give gifts containing the hearts of SSG players during SSG's final showdown of the season in Daegu in September. At that time, a simple event will be held along with the delivery of gifts. Legend, who made 549 saves in total in the KBO League, including 427 saves in total, 80 saves in Japan, and 42 saves in the Major League, announced his farewell from the ground. There is not much time left to see player Oh Seung-hwan.
