Absolute on the Mound

4.
It is said that the most dangerous thing for professional baseball players is a fan who buys alcohol.
It's not a bad thing.
The popularity of professional baseball in Korea is not small, and fans who want to get along with professional baseball players in some way are overwhelmed.
Busan's popularity with Titans, Seoul's popularity with Devils, and Angels is unmatched.
The sound of fans lining up to pay for drinks is not ridiculous, even if they reveal their names at the bar.
It was not a urban legend, it was a true eyewitness story that a wealthy fan bought several million won worth of alcohol for the player and tens of millions of won of gifts.
Of course, no one thinks it's normal.
It is abnormal, it is immoral, and the club always gathers and warns.
You have to serve the fans, not get the service.
But as always, he who forgets his place comes out.
[Jungho, disciplined for drinking!]
[Drink-driving by baseball players, is this okay?]
[Angels Apology Announced!]
That was the case of drinking alcohol in Jungho.
And the booze shook up online.
I knew he'd be in trouble. What kind of asshole puts a stamp on his room every Monday?
It's like the opening saloon, and you sprinkle the cold water, sprinkle the cold water!
A kid who doesn't let his fans sign, gets his service from his fans. Are you a pro?
Angels fans blamed the Great Lakes.
Destruction of Angels.
Drinking Angel Mode.
Hang on, we're going down.
Fans, other than Angels fans, rejoiced at the fall of Angels, the collapse of their rivals.
And the Angels Club began to respond.
“I got your text. ”
I beg your pardon?
“Prohibited.”
Angels' first, second runners and associates have been banned from drinking.
Prohibition?
“If I get caught drinking secretly, I want to take my clothes off. ”
Lee Jin-yong received the Prohibition text on May 1st, coming back to Champions Park after seeing all kinds of things in the city during the holidays.
It's the booze, after all.
“Of course. There's no need for alcohol. By the way, Kim Jin-ho never got into an accident because of drinking. ”
Of course! A great champion of the Major League, who gives dreams and hopes, cannot climb the table with alcohol! It is I, Kim Jin-ho, who have always tried to be a godly and upright person!
“You don't think it's a habit to cry like a woman when you drink? ”
What are you talking about? Hey, man, I'm a talker, a talker! I've never been drunk since I was born!
As always, while talking about the brawl, Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho started crossing the parking lot of the Icheon Champions Park, doing something that seemed crazy to others.
“Let's ask the Google God. ”
I-I don't know who saw me crying drinking because I only drink on sad days. Yeah, I'm sure there's a story to it.
“Really?"
I love that car! Oh, wow!
At that moment, Kim Jin-ho quickly turned to talk.
In the place that Kim Jinho pointed to, there was a nice car that would also attract Lee Jin-yong's attention.
It started out different. It looked like an SUV, but the angled shape wasn't easy to see.
“It's huge. ”
At the same time, it was big enough to make a fussy SUV into a small SUV.
“Huh? Benz? ”
Crucially, the car had the symbol of Benz, a triangle horn that no South Korean would ever know.
It's a Gbacen. It's a hard car to see in Korea.
“Gbagen? You make this in Benz? ”
Don't you know Benz G. Vaughn?
Lee Jin-yong shrugged. I don't know.
And frankly, I didn't even want to know what kind of car it was or what history it had.
“Is it expensive?”
I only have one question, Price!
No, it's not expensive.
Kim Jinho boldly answered the question.
It's only 200 million. Well, it could be more expensive.
In response to the bold answer, Lee Jin-yong made a ridiculous face.
“Isn't that expensive? ”
You run one game, you don't get that much, do you?
Kim Jin-ho grinning with a horse.
The smile on his face was rewarded with a smile.
“Yes, it's about 200 million chewing gum for someone who invested their shares properly. If I had bought Apple stock 10 years ago, I would have become a major shareholder. ”
Hey, man! Why are you digging it up again? I'm gonna die every time I see an iPhone.
Lee Jin-yong thought about Kim Jin-ho's reaction right away.
‘Because Apple split the stock in 2014, we should make fun of it later because it was seven times more expensive than then. ’
I will tell you later that Kim Jin-ho did not jump 14 times, but 98 times because he split the shares in between, and that Kim Jin-ho might have made close to $500 million if he now held the shares in Apple.
“Whose car is it? ”
Let's see.
Kim Jin-ho stuffed her body into the car and began to look inside the car.
Now he enjoyed the fact that he was a ghost.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
"Huh?
Meanwhile, the smartphone for Lee Jin-yong vomited tears.
“Oh, Coach. What's going on? This is the parking lot. Yes, yes. Yes?”
Lee Jin-yong who started the call was frightened, and in the meantime, Kim Jin-ho stepped down to check everything in the car.
Hey, this car owner.
“Now! I'll run for it!" ”
What is it?
At that moment, Lee Jin-yong yelled at Kim Jin-ho.
“Well, that's... ”
The words did not come out easily from Lee Jin-ho's mouth, and Kim Jin-ho frowned.
Are you finally crazy?
“Hey, I'm signing up for a full register! ”
Soon, Lee Jin-yong vomited.
“You can sign up as a registered player right now! I'm a real pro now! ”
That said, Kim Jinho smiled as he tried to say something.
Then let's go sign the contract right now! What are you doin '?
“But what were you going to tell me? ”
What does it matter? Contracts matter. Let's go! We have to sign the contract. Don't you think?
“Yes!”
Yes, Jinjong is finally the star of his life! Jin-yong, let's go out on a joyful day.
“Intense?”
I'll show the director how happy you are when you walk through the office door. What do you think? Let's try the ceremony. Let's give it a try!
“Shall we?”
Seeing Lee Jin-yong so excited, he smiled the biggest smile Kim Jin-ho had ever made.
6.
Icheon Champions Park Conference Room.
The meeting room, which was always a serious atmosphere, was always full of heavy atmosphere as it was today.
Shit, shit, shit! ’
In that atmosphere, Jin Yong lowered his head like a sinner in front of a headband.
Hahahaha!
Kim Jinho was smiling.
And Guernsey, the Operations Team Leader of Angels, who was doing such a binary dragon, was looking at it very coldly.
The beginning of the case was when Lee Jin-yong arrived at the door of the conference room.
Around that time, Jin Yong was excited that he could become a registered athlete.
It was something to be excited about.
Currently, Lee Jin-yong's identity was the physical athlete, who could not have wanted to be a call-up in Group 1.
In other words, turning him into a qualified athlete means keeping Group 1 calls in mind!
There was no mental relaxation to filter out Kim Jin-ho's words, and Lee Jin-yong strongly expressed her will and joy after kicking down the door as Kim Jin-ho said.
Immediately after opening the door, Lee Jin-yong shouted.
“We've arrived for Jin Yong, hooray! ”
Only after shouting that, Lee Jin-yong was able to find a petition sitting in one of the meeting rooms, and only then was she able to come to her senses.
We will fall to those who thrive by howling! Mwahaha!
‘Oh, shit. ’
It was the reason Lee Jin-yong bowed his head, and Gu Gun-seo looked at Lee Jin-yong with cold eyes.
“Hmmm.”
In that dreadful situation, the director of Group 2 blurted out.
“Let's start with a contract for two players. First, Park Jun-hyung.”
At that, I turned my head and looked at Joon-nim.
Of course, the purpose of Gu Gu Gun Seo came here was not Lee Jin-yong, but Park Jun-hyung.
As a physical athlete, you must be registered on or after May 1st to be a qualified athlete, and you must be a qualified athlete to be on stage in the 1st Army.
In addition, Angels was going to put Park Joon-seop in the position of 65 qualified athletes who became empty due to Yang Yun-seop's injuries.
There were, of course, no plans to sign binary as a registered player in this process.
The problem is the drinking of the Red Lagoon.
Angels has disciplined him for leaving voluntarily, including fines for his DUI.
He was excluded from the formal register, and Lee Jin-yong sat on the remaining spot.
In other words, the binary dragon was chopped.
It wasn't even predetermined.
If it had been predetermined, there would have been no urgent contact with Jin Yong.
But then, all of a sudden, that chisel appeared in the conference room. Yay! I shouted so loudly, I couldn't help but think it was ridiculous.
Jin-yong, why don't we just get released and go to the Major League? Yeah? Yeah.
Of course, Kim Jinho knew.
Benz Gbagen knew it was a burner car, and he also expected her to be here.
So I stroked the excited binary dragon, and it worked.
‘Oh, I got you. ’
At last, Lee Jin-yong who took one punch with Kim Jin-ho doubled his stomach.
“I'm done. ”
In the meantime, Park Joon-hyung signed the contract, and of course, everyone's interest was directed to Lee Jin-yong.
Lee Jin-yong received the contract and noticed the appearance of a grilling letter.
She gives a cold glare, and now she's giving a laser beam of eyes.
I can see the look in his face and I'm seriously considering whether I should sign with this lunatic or expel him.
As Kim Jinho explained, she was struggling with whether she should accept a human being who is really binary dragon as a player in Angels, or whether she would crash in Angels with an unimaginable maniac.
Let's just get rid of it and go to the Major League. I'll translate for you. Tear up that contract and throw it in his face. When are you going to throw paper at your granddaughter?
Kim Jin-ho teased Lee Jin-yong, and Lee Jin-yong read the contents of the contract in the teasing of Kim Jin-ho.
I then read the other attached agreements in addition to the main agreement.
It was a backdoor contract that the club guaranteed for binary, although it could not be declared.
“There · · · · · · · · ·. ”
Lee Jin-yong, who was reading the content, looked at the petition and said.
“If I win more than one in the Korean series, will I be released unconditionally? ”
Gu Gu Gu's eyes turned colder and sharper in Lee Jin-yong's words.
However, Lee Jin-yong did not avoid that look.
It was important.
If the Angels Gang didn't keep this contract, Lee Jin-yong was going to do as Kim Jin-ho said.
I was going to leave baseball and start with the Major League.
I know it's not easy, but Lee Jin-yong thought it was better than being tied to a Korean pro baseball stage and giving up his dream until he was over 30 years old.
And Lee Jin-yong's head has been bowed down because of shame, not because she was pushed to the grill.
In the beginning, Lee Jin-yong was such a man.
A man who has never turned away from what is right in front of his eyes, even if he is insignificant.
Gu Gu Gu, who met Lee Jin-yong's eyes, narrowed his eyes.
‘This human · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’
At that moment, she remembered a man's name when she first saw Jin Yong.
Are you related to Kim Jin-ho? ’
Kim Jin-ho.
It reminded me of a great player who refused to compare with anyone, and I felt offended by that fact.
‘No way. ’
It reminds me of Kim Jin-ho, who was the best fighter she could think of.
“Two or more in the post season, including the Korean series, and if you win the Korean series, I'll release it as much as I want. ”
That's why.
“And if you win three or more in the Korean series, I'll do anything for you. ”
What she said was a taunt.
Anything?
Kim Jinho was surprised by the taunt.
Wait, so if I win the Korean series 3 and ask you to marry me, will you do it? Dammit, if you had offered me that, I would have kicked that major league's ass and won Angels!
Lee Jin-yong also turned white.
“Really? If you win the Korean Series 3 times, will you do anything for me? ”
The reaction surprised both Woo Ji-wook group 2 supervisor and Park Jun-hyung who were seated, including the petition.
Do you really think that's possible? ’
I didn't mean what he said.
It was impossible to win three pitchers alone in the Korean series in the first place.
Making conditions with the impossible was both provocative and a warning.
Don't talk to me, that kind of warning.
However, Lee Jin-yong reacted as if she could really do it.
“May I add it to the contract? Oh, but can I add this in writing? What do you want me to do? ”
In the appearance of Lee Jin-yong, he said with a cold look.
“I'll write a new one. including its contents. ”
7.
“What kind of player are you? ”
The supervisory room, not the conference room.
Before leaving, the director of Group 2 responded to the question of Guernsey, who had a brief conversation with Woo Ji-wook II.
“Honestly, I don't know what kind of player you are. ”
“You don't know?”
It was significantly different from the answer expected by the book.
Guernsey expected the director of Group 2 to tell us how crazy Lee Jin-yong is.
“Everyday skills are growing. What's even more amazing is that you grow on your own without having to coach yourself like this. ”
Even Woo Ji-wook, the director of Group 2, was praising Lee Jin-yong.
It was the first time in a book.
Although there were not many contacts with the second-in-command supervisor in the beginning, the second-in-command supervisor he knew was someone with outstanding competence and confidence.
Anyone who gives a clear answer about the player.
And he was stingy with compliments.
Even when talking about Park Jun-hyung right away, Woo Ji-wook, the director of Group 2, said with certainty and precision the pros and cons.
Of course, that's not the answer the book wanted.
“Do you think he'll work in Group 1? ”
All he needed was a player to help him win the Korean series of Angels.
If I could only contribute to winning the Korean series, I was willing to wear Angels uniform, even if it was the Devil.
In response to the questions in the statement, the director of Group 2 gave a brief thought and replied briefly.
“Integrate.”
“Got it.”
That was the end of the conversation with Gu Gun Seo.
She got up on her feet as soon as she heard the answer and told Woo Ji-wook, Group 2's director, one last time.
“I'll tell that story to Bong Joon-sik, too. ”
At the end of the sentence, the letter went out of the supervisory room, and now I think the remaining director of Group 2 is alone.
‘Given the old team leader's personality, I will send Jin Yong up to Group 1 by any means. ’
Sooner or later, if Group 1 needs pitchers, they'll be filled with binary dragons.
In addition, the director of Group 2 hoped.
‘Now we know. ’
I was curious.
‘Is Lee Jin-yong really working in group 1, or will he stay as a pitcher with only guts? ’
I don't know what the limits are for Jin Yong, which he didn't even consider.
Such a second-in-command director's wishes were swift.
On May 5, Lee Jin-yong was called up in Group 1.
