'Honestly, I was nervous' The milestone shakes up to the point where it is mindless…The man with the most home runs, once again carved his name into the 'KBO First' SSG Landers' 'Living Legend' Choi Jung set another 'Unanswered' milestone.

Choi Jeong hit a solo shot against Samsung's Lee Seung-hyun in the top of the ninth inning with a 7-4 lead in this season's final showdown with the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 11th.

For Choi Jung, it was the moment when he piled up 20 home runs for 10 consecutive years and the last brick.

There are a total of 14 seasons with 20 home runs or more. He hit 20 home runs for the first time in 2010, and exceeded 20 home runs for four consecutive seasons until 2013. The streak of 20 consecutive home runs began again in 2016.

Following 40 home runs in 2016, he hit 46 home runs in 2017, achieving 40 home runs for two consecutive seasons. He recorded more than 25 every year between 2018 and 2024, and was also the home run king in 2016, 2017, and 2021.

Every year, he says his goal for the new season is to `hit double-digit home runs as quickly as possible, hit more than 10 home runs in consecutive seasons.' That's how much he plays for a season with a poker face and no thoughts.

But this year has been a particularly difficult season. I've been batting in the .100 range for a while, and in the end, I'm having a season close to career low.

So, Choi Jeong's expression after the game showed particular relief. Choi Jung-eun "It felt strange to have a new title of 20 home runs for 10 consecutive years. I'm more nervous. I wish I could hit one quickly There was a great deal of anxiety."

"This year, the hitting was not very good, the season was tight every game, and it was a bit difficult because there was not much time left. Fortunately, it feels good to be out today."

Choi Jung-eun said, "Thanks to Ahn Sang-hyun, who hit the net before her, I was able to hit comfortably," adding, "Now I want to pass the hankobi." But I'll do my best not to lose in a row"I vowed.

SSG has become a team with Roh Kyung-eun and Kim Min, who is beneficial, and three 20 holds in one team at the same time (2nd time ever). On this day, Noh Kyung-eun added a hold, reaching another KBO first milestone of 30 holds for three consecutive years.

"It's rather an honor for me to play in the same team with my teammates who can make such a good record. Pitchers say, "Thanks to Noh Kyung-eun's tremendous performance, junior players seem to learn a lot and work harder."
