It's been a long time since a drunk person stormed the ballpark during a game.

It happened at Jamsil Stadium on the 19th when the Doosan Bears and the LG Twins faced off. After two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning with LG leading 6-5, the referee suddenly declared the suspension as soon as Oh Ji-hwan took the batter's box. In the outfield on the right, a man in a men's suit is running toward the infield with an umbrella.

The right outfield ball boy and the first base ball boy ran and blocked him, and the bodyguard came and caught him and took him outside. Fortunately, it was handled quietly without any major physical fights or mishaps, and the game soon resumed.

The drunkard reportedly stated that the umbrella fell and went down to the ground to pick it up. The club will hand it over to the police.

Meanwhile, the Doosan-LG match sold out all 23,750 seats on the same day. 14th sellout in LG's 44th game. LG had a total audience of 835,599. The average audience is 18,877. As of the current trend, about 1.37 million people in total are possible. The figure is a little short of the Lotte Giants' record of 1,3818, in 2009, which is the highest attendance in a team season. Attention is focusing on whether LG will be able to set a new record for the largest number of spectators in the team's history this season.
