"We were wrong about yesterday. (Ha)I also said something to the president."

It has been 31 years since he took the helm as a coach, and 22 years since he took the helm.

A long time has passed, but Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon's baseball stadium, which wants to walk 'the right way', has become stronger.




Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who met at Changwon NC Park on the 17th, said, "Sports should be done like sports," regarding the bench clearing that erupted the previous day due to the misunderstanding between Hanwha Ha Joo-seok and NC Dinos Shin Min-hyuk"I let off the rhyme.

Kim Kyung-moon, born in 1958, is the hero of the only Olympic gold medal (2008 Beijing) in Korean baseball history. After passing through the Doosan Bears and the NC Dinos, he became one of the leading coaches of the times and returned to Hanwha last year. This year, he is leading Hanwha, which was a low-ranking team in its last years, to compete for the lead in the regular season, and furthermore, to win the Korean Series.

Throughout his long career, he has emphasized baseball as a sport and baseball as a way of walking. The uniform attitude of praising clever plays that catch the opponent off guard, but showing reluctance to steal signs or play beyond regulations, is well known in the baseball world.

It is also regrettable that there was an unnecessary conflict with NC in Changwon. Changwon is another hometown for manager Kim Kyung-moon, who led NC for eight years.

Asked carefully about the collision during the match the previous day, head coach Kim Kyung-moon agonized for a while and then opened his mouth heavily.

"As long as I'm in charge, Hanwha should play clean baseball. I think we were wrong about yesterday."




Director Kim Kyung-moon said to the president, "'Whatever the opponent does, if the content is not good, you can just come in.'"I'll emphasize it again and again to the players in the future. I will make Hanwha play fair baseball," he said repeatedly. The determination to end the unnecessary controversy was seen.

On this day, Hanwha will start Son Ah-seop as the first batter and right fielder instead of Lee Won-seok. Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "(Chae) Eun-sung has been playing with pain in his legs." I don't usually mark it, but I think it hurts a lot today. (Son) Ah-seop is actually an opportunity. Fielders have to take turns hitting designated batters like this so that they can play the season without any major injuries.
