Hanwha Eagles fans' love of baseball. Beyond Daejeon, which has the highest sales record, it has a reputation as a fan from all over the country.

It's not just adult fans. Little fans who will support Hanwha for the rest of their lives are also serious about their love for Hanwha.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who is having a hard time after being appointed during the season. In a short time, I see and feel various things about the team and I am looking for ways to improve it. You won't feel so comfortable.

It is natural that the results are difficult to come out right away. Still, it is the coach's destiny to talk about it as a result.

Day by day, the number of times that you can't express and have to save yourself alone is increasing.

Meanwhile, a letter of great comfort arrived.

It was a handwritten letter from two Hanwha children's fans.

Two six-year-old children's fans sent a letter full of love for coach Kim and the Hanwha team, although it was short.

"Kim Kyung-moon, director, I like you." It's cool. It's always the best." He said, pressing hearts with a big smile on his face. Kwon Young-min said "Kim Kyung-moon, thank you for taking care of the Hanwha players. I love you. I miss you." and sent a drawing of the sun and a heart.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who received an unexpected surprise gift, was thrilled, saying, `Children's fans gave me strength.' Then "These young fans grow up quickly, and later they will continue to be on Hanwha's side and come to the ground to cheer." I need to sow the seeds so that I can become a great Hanwha when these friends grow up"I vowed.

Director Kim said, `Thanks to the support of the children's fans, we were able to break the losing streak," he said with a big smile.

Hanwha won the match against Daejeon Samsung on the 23rd, the start of the week, 6-5 with Peraza's winning shot in the eighth inning after a fierce battle that turned the tables. A precious victory that escaped seven consecutive losses in front of 11,501 home fans.

Director Kim Kyung-moon said, "When you can't win, it's really hard to win one game," he said, reflecting on the importance of one win with the players once again.

One precious victory achieved by Hanwha fans' desire to support them with all their heart, regardless of whether they are adults or children. It remains to be seen whether the sharp energy will be delivered to the squad and lead to a dramatic rebound.
