"Oh Seung-hwan is the greatest pride of my career."

Oh Seung-hwan's retirement tour is underway. Before the game, the teams of both teams took commemorative photos together and the home team delivered special gifts.

The match between the SSG Landers and the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 11th was more special.

Oh Seung-hwan's retirement tour announcement was delayed a bit, and Samsung's away trip to Incheon was all over. The SSG squad, which predicted retirement earlier, had an event equivalent to a retirement tour in August, but it is still meaningful for an official retirement tour.

Therefore, SSG decided to play Oh Seung-hwan's retirement tour in one mind even in the away game in Daegu. A typical time is when Oh Seung-hwan meets with SSG fans. Although the venue was Daegu, it was open to recruitment and raffle for '50 SSG uniform wearers' through SSG SNS.

In the game, the SSG team presented Oh with a signed ball frame. The frame, which contains a total of 20 balls, contains signatures of key players in the first division entry, including Kim Kwang-hyun, Choi Jung, Lee Ji-young, and Noh Kyung, Cho Byung-hyun and Lee Won-eun. The team also took a commemorative photo with Oh Seung-hwan.

In the retirement tour, the role of delivering bouquets is usually the captain of the team or the player with a deep relationship with the retired player. In the case of the KIA Tigers, Choi Hyung-woo, who has been a central player with Samsung for a long time, stepped up.

However, in SSG, Cho Byung-hyun played the role. According to the SSG club, Cho Byung-hyun, who has respected Oh Seung-hwan as a senior in his usual finishing position, volunteered. Oh also named Cho Byung-hyun as one of his successors this year. Kim Kwang-hyun took care of the gift of the signed ball frame instead.

Cho Byung-hyun said, "It is a great honor to be able to participate in the retirement event of Korea's best closing pitcher, who has been cheering on broadcasting since he was young. I'm also very grateful that my senior, who I've been longing for, chose me as a successor, and this memory will be the greatest pride of my career."

"I sincerely congratulate you on your last occasion and I will support your second life in the future." I also want to grow into a closer as best I can so that I can follow in my senior's footsteps."
