Absolute on the Mound

1.

October 27, 2018.

The New York landscape was now a winter and a seemingly uneventful landscape. Now, people spew their whites around each other, making fun of each other like The New Yorker.

The cars were the same.

A variety of cars, like New York, were busy on the road, moving as best they could towards my destination.

As was Albert Lee, a taxi driver in New York.

“Huh?"

He was wandering around looking for a customer, and immediately stopped in front of him.

And the moment the customer got in the car, Albert Lee quickly analyzed the characteristics of the customer with a rear-view mirror.

It was instinctive to be prepared quickly if it was a bad customer.

In fact, there were several suspicious corners to the customer's behavior.

He was covering his face with a scarf, wearing a hat, and even wearing sunglasses to hide his identity.

Honestly, in a normal case, Albert Lee would never give the guest a ride.

“You're a Mets fan. ”

What if the hat and the scarf and the jumper he was wearing weren't all New York Mets?

“So the destination, of course, is the Yankee Stadium? ”

On the contrary, Albert Lee was happy to give his guests a ride.

“The goal would be World Series IV. ”

Albert Lee, who was speaking, touched the hat he wore for guests in the back seat.

His hat was engraved with the logo of New York Mets.

It wasn't just that.

His driver's seat dashboard was filled with bobble-headed dolls made of athletes from Mets.

Albert Lee, the evidence that he dedicated his life to Mets, that's why he was willing to accept this suspicious Mets fan.

“I hope I'm not wrong. ”

When Albert Lee asked again, the customer shakes his head.

“Precisely. Head to the Yankee Stadium. ”

In response, Albert Lee smiled and immediately his car began to move the wheel vigorously.

While driving, of course, Albert Lee's mouth began to move forcefully.

“It's a great season, isn't it? I've been a Mets fan for 20 years, and this is my first time. Maybe everyone in the Major League has never seen a season like this before. One athlete alone won the World Series, which is unprecedented in Major League history. ”

A brief recollection passed through Albert Lee's head as he spoke.

“Perfect of Perfect, I still can't believe it even though I saw it on the field. ”

I recalled a historic moment in New York four days ago.

“You saw him at the scene? ”

“If you work in New York for over a decade as a taxi driver, you'll get a ticket to the World Series. Of course, there was no honesty to be seen because it was a very high position, but what does it matter? Isn't that right? It's important to be on the scene where the legend is written. I already packed the tickets in the frame that day. I'll take it to the frame next year and get Lee's autograph. ”

Albert Lee once again said, touching his hat.

“Of course, you should take it here too. Lee's going to love this. He's a desperate player because he wants to sign. He's an amazing athlete in many ways. ”

As he spoke, Albert Lee immediately moved on to the next topic.

“The end of the World Series was already there, actually. Perfect of Perfect Game. Babe Ruth did something that wasn't even close. What more game would you need? ”

It was about World Series II and 3.

“In the second and third battles, I noticed that Yankees were out of their minds. Thanks to you, I was able to win easily. Especially yesterday, there were more Mets fans at the Yankee Stadium than there were Yankees. Yankee fans had a hunch. that this game cannot be won. ”

The story that I was doing so came right now.

“It's gonna be worse today. It's a Hou Man game. ”

The conversation was over.

In the beginning, the distance from the city field to the Yankeestadium was only a little more than 10 kilometers straight, and already the road to the Yankeestadium was impossible to enter because the cars that wandered around were already in the parking lot.

“From here, walking is probably ten times faster than getting to the car. ”

It's better to walk.

At Albert Lee's statement, the guest nodded and immediately paid Albert Lee.

“Oh, I'm fine. ”

Albert Lee then refused the fare.

“I can't take money from Mets fans who come to Yankee Stadium to cheer for Mets. Isn't this the day to win the World Series? It's early, of course, but there's no doubt about it. ”

Albert Lee was about to give the best support he could to Mets fans on their way to Yankee Stadium, a nemesis that was neither home nor city field.

The guest did not try to pay the price.

“Thank you."

He expressed his gratitude, and Albert Lee said with a bright smile.

“Thank you, then. Hooray! ”

A guest replied to Albert Lee's statement.

“Hooray.”

Along with that, the guest opened the door and got off.

Huh?

At that moment, Albert Lee noticed that the guests' clothes had changed.

A customer who was armed with a hat, scarf, and jumper saw that the hat was no longer visible.

“You left your hat! Hat!"

Surprised by that, Albert Lee immediately shouted down the driver's seat window at the guest leaving.

However, the guest had already disappeared in the crowd heading to Yankee Stadium.

“Oh, shit. ”

Eventually, Albert Lee gave up on calling the guests.

Instead, he tried to make his own move.

‘We have to give it back somehow. ’

If he visited the City Field, he could get as many Mets as he wanted, but it was impossible to get Mets Hats from Yankeestadium.

Albert Lee had no intention of allowing the same Mets fan to have such memories.

As soon as Albert Lee got out of the driver's seat, he opened the back seat door.

Then I saw the hat my guest left behind.

Huh?

I also saw the baseball my guest left behind.

"Baseball"?

Surprised by that, Albert Lee takes a baseball in his hand. And he could see.

“Ho, ho! ”

Lee Jin-yong, the special cause he left for himself.

2.

Yankee Stadium.

The hardest, most majestic baseball field in the Major League.

Hello Major League fans, today is the day of World Series IV and possibly the last game of the season at Yankee Stadium.

Today, however, the Yankee Stadium has faced one of the most devastating events since its birth.

If Mets takes the game today, he will win the third World Series after 1986 with four wins and zero.

I didn't know Yankees at Yankee Stadium would be sacrificed today.

And in order to win that victory, Lee will be crowned as the only major league record ever, the Perfect of Perfect Game.

Lee Jin-yong, coronation offering to announce that he is now the absolute ruler of the Major League.

Of course, the Yankee Stadium was incredibly depressing to believe it was a World Series atmosphere.

Yeah, this is it. I wanted to feel this way.

But Kim Jinho, he was different.

He smiles so satisfied with the atmosphere of the Yankee Stadium.

Lee Jin-yong stared at Kim Jin-ho's appearance with a smile.

What are you staring at?

Kim Jin-ho turned her head and looked at Lee Jin-yong.

So they exchanged their eyes silently for a moment.

Then, Lee Jin-yong opened her mouth.

“If I win here today, I may never see Kim Jin-ho again. ”

Kim Jin-ho smiled.

Does that make you feel good? Okay?

“It can't be that bad. ”

Yeah, me, too.

Kim Jinho swung her head as she spit.

“I might not be able to say it during the game today, so I'll just say it in advance. ”

What do you mean?

“Thank you. ”

A short word, but the twisted tail of Kim Jinho began to rise on the word.

I can't hear you. Can you say that again?

Lee Jin-yong smiled at Kim Jin-ho's continued request.

“Jinho, thank you. ”

Yeah, me too. Why are you suddenly half-assed? Are you ignoring me as a ghost?

“No, where's the half-word respect in English? Isn't that right?”

You just said it in Korean, didn't you?

“Oh, I don't speak Korean often, so I must have made a mistake. I'll make it right.”

You sick fuck! What kind of mistake is that in America, less than a year old? Hey! Do it again! Stand tall, bow down nine times and say thank you! Go, go, go, go!

“What are you so upset about today? ”

It was then.

“Lee!"

Joe Jones, who came inside Doug, found Jin Yong and approached.

“Who were you talking to? ”

Lee Jin-yong smiled at the question and said.

“No, I was praying. ”

“Pray for me to confirm winning the World Series?" ”

Lee Jin-yong shakes her head when she asks Joe Jones again.

“I prayed that I would be grateful for the miracle that came to me. ”

“Not a World Series winner? ”

That was it.

Lee Jin-yong stood up and tapped Joe Jones' shoulder.

“You don't have to pray to win the World Series. ”

“That's right."

And so World Series World War IV began as the final game of the 2018 season.

3.

A seal that reminds me of a mount.

Even though it was cold in front of the seal, the man who was dressed in a clean suit prayed with his hands together.

Soon after praying, the man pulls something out of his chest.

What I took out was a luxurious ring box.

When the man opened his ring box, one of the rings without much glamour appeared.

“Kim Jin-ho, this is the World Series ring you've always wanted. ”

A World Series ring to celebrate winning the 2018 New York Mets World Series.

Lee Jin-yong placed the ring as it was in front of the seal.

And then I sighed for a long time.

“It's finally over. ”

Along with that, Lee Jin-yong looked at Kim Jin-ho's grave without saying a word for a long time as if he was wet.

Soon after remembering, Lee Jin-yong closed her eyes and glanced at her side.

What are you staring at?

“· · · · · · Still there. ”

There was Kim Jin-ho.

What, dude? You're still there, you bastard!

“No, I won the World Series. Why didn't you make a fuss? ”

Not me!

“Oh, my God. ”

Lee Jin-yong who was speaking scratched his head nervously.

“No, I thought I'd won the World Series in my lifetime. ”

That's right.

“Well, if you win the World Series, why not make a fortune? ”

No, that's exactly what the World Series was all about.

“I beg your pardon?”

In front of Kim Jin-ho's shock confession, Lee Jin-yong frowned and exclaimed.

“What about the rest of your wishes? ”

No, it's nothing. I actually only had two wishes, including winning the World Series.

“Two? ”

Yeah, I'm fine.

“What is it?”

Crossing the cybernetics and losing the most World Series winners in Yogi Vera.

Kim Jinho speaking was smiling brighter than ever.

On the other hand, Lee Jin-yong stared at Kim Jin-ho with a ridiculous eye.

“Wait, let me do the math. ”

At that moment, the binary dragon who understood the situation began to calculate.

“The multiplier for Saiyoung translation is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

511 wins. Fortunately, the biggest inning in the Major League, or the most deserting, is not Sai-Young, but the surprising record of Ryan. So Jinjong, you'll only have to break the best of luck.

“Is that good? ”

By the way, the top 10 World Series winners in the Major League are Yogi Vera. You have 10 more. Yeah, we just need to win 47 seasons every 10 years and win the World Series.

Jin Yong Lee said that and covered my face with both hands.

“Oh, shit. ”

Don't be so discouraged. Jin-yong, you can do it. Yeah, I'll sing you a song to cheer up. Cheer up, Dad.

“Shut up!"

I took the ring box containing the World Series ring that Lee Jin-yong left in front of the grave.

Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you give it to me? You filthy bastard, you gave it to me. Where did you get it?

“Shut up! I'm losing my mind. Don't touch me!" ”

What's wrong with you, you crazy son of a bitch?

“Oh, really! ”

Kim Jin-ho changed his face to Lee Jin-yong who was really angry.

Hmmm.

Then Kim Jin-ho, who had calmed down the atmosphere with a clear-headed cough, approached Lee Jin-yong and said.

Actually, there might be another way.

“Another way? ”

Saiyoung is the most won, Yogi Vera's world series is the baseball player Kim Jinho's wish, and human Kim Jinho's wish is another.

Then, I listened to Kim Jin-ho, making a serious face.

My whole life, I've had one wish since I was a kid.

“What's that? ”

Soon, Kim Jin-ho said with a more serious look than ever.

Going somewhere else.

Lee Jin-yong said with a fat face.

“Bloody lewd devil! ”

Soon, Lee Jin-yong, who had the ring box, stepped away from Kim Jin-ho's grave.

Jin-yong, where are you going?

“Where are you going? I have to go to America and prepare for this season. Shit, there's a fucking ghost in there. A damn ghost.”

Kim Jin-ho smiled at him.

Yeah, a fucking ghost. Mwahaha!
