The 2024 season Korean Series ended with KIA’s V12 victory. Behind the emotional victory, various players’ stories linger. Among them, the story of catcher Kim Tae-gun, who hit a grand slam in Game 4 in his 17th season since his debut, contains various joys and sorrows. Kim Tae-gun, who started every game up until Game 5 of the Korean Series and wore a catcher’s mask and worked with the pitchers, recalls the situation in Game 2 where Yang Hyeon-jong threw only four-seam fastballs for 17 consecutive pitches against Samsung batters as “crazy.” This is because if the pitcher did not trust the catcher and the catcher did not trust the pitcher, this would never have happened in a big game like the Korean Series. Kim Tae-gun’s expression as he reminisced about the Korean Series was happiness itself. He confidently said that his family is the reason he plays baseball, as he hugged his wife, who had suffered a lot after marriage, and wiped away tears right after the victory. Here is Part 1 of our interview with Kim Tae-gun. #KimTaeGoon #YangHyeonJong #LeeBeomHo #JeongHaeYoung #JeonSangHyun #ChoiHyungWoo #WonTaeIn #KangMinHo #YangEuiJi #KIATigers #KiaTigers #SamsungLions #KoreanSeries #Baseball #KBO #ReporterLeeYoungMi #LeeYoungMi'sSelfieShow Join the membership and enjoy more benefits. / @ssumtimes ▶ Inquiries about reporting, mergers, and advertisements [email protected]
