Ahn Se-young, a gold medalist in women's singles badminton at the Paris Olympics, made a determined statement to the Badminton Association. Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop also uttered bitter words to KBO. The fact that director Lee, who usually endures alone even if he has complaints, talked openly like this is something that should not be let slip away.
Manager Lee spoke up unusually ahead of the LG Twins match at Jamsil Stadium on the 6th. Why only Doosan has been assigned to Ulsan-Pohang game, the second home stadium of Lotte Giants and Samsung Lions, for the second consecutive year.
In fact, LG went to Ulsan last weekend and went crazy. In the hot summer, the Gyeongsang inland area, which is much hotter than other areas, was breathtakingly hot. On top of that, Ulsan was an artificial turf. It was possible to play against the geothermal heat coming up from the artificial turf. The first heat wave cancellation in KBO history came out on the 2nd, but the players were exhausted after pushing ahead with the game on the 3rd.
However, Doosan has to play three consecutive games at Pohang Stadium from the 20th. Pohang is also hot and artificial turf. From the standpoint of head coach Lee, who leads the team, the three consecutive games in Pohang cannot help but be concerned. In addition to the heat, Pohang has no away team restaurant, so it is said that food is placed in the locker room and the players eat it hard. The hotel is not suitable, so it is even more difficult for the team to travel long distances in Daegu and Gyeongju. Manager Lee protested on behalf of the players even on these issues.

This is because of director Lee. What do you mean. In the second home stadium game, it is common for clubs to hold games with local government support. Ulsan City, Pohang City spent money and invited local people to play professional baseball games" can have a promotional effect. In the expression of the MZ generation, the poem to the club is 'Advertiser'. If there are any complaints that the advertiser wants, the clubs should listen to them as much as possible.
Instead of changing the allocation, such as weekday and weekend games, depending on the contract, you can choose a matchup by looking at the schedule. More than other teams, of course, the best scenario for Pohang City is that coach Lee will come. Lee hit his 400th career home run in Pohang when he was an active member of the Samsung Lions.

KBO also did not complain about it until then. This is because it was difficult to ignore the requests of local governments and clubs because they would not have expected such a heat wave to come.
Anyway, in the Ulsan heatwave, manager Lee's determined remarks drained the steam even before the three consecutive games in Pohang between Doosan and Samsung were held. There is a possibility that the game will be held normally because the temperature may drop during the week, but it is difficult to force the game if the heat does not cool down and an environment where players are expected to be exhausted is created. In the meantime, if you push the game, there will be a huge aftermath.
