Farewell to the professional baseball stadium 'supreme age' is not far away. There are only five games left.
At the end of this season, Hanwha will move to Baseball Dream Park, a new stadium. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who met at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 22nd, laughed, saying, `It's really only a few days away.'
Daejeon Stadium was built in January 1964. It lasted 60 years this year. He is a living witness of history who has watched the history of professional baseball for more than 40 years, starting with the Sammi Superstars and OB Bears in 1982 and the MBC Blue Dragon and Binggrae Eagles on April 1, 1986. It was also the stage of the 1999 Korean Series, Hanwha's only championship.
Hanwha will play Lotte at home from the 22nd to the 23rd. After that, he will return to his home after going through Gocheok Kiwoom and Jamsil LG.
KIA Tigers, SSG Landers. The NC Dinos match remains. Currently, the last game to say goodbye to Daejeon Stadium is the match against NC, which coincidentally has a deep relationship with head coach Kim Kyung-moon. He took the helm as NC's first manager and made it to the playoffs for four consecutive years before resigning in 2018.

How will the current situation be accepted by coach Roh, who has won more than 900 games in his career as a leader. Manager Kim Kyung-moon commented on the motivation of the players "This is what it is nowIt's not the time to talk like that. The players are also well aware of the meaning of each game."
Until the previous day, Hanwha had mobilized 745,797 home spectators, playing an all-time role in the box office hit. The head coach also spent the year feeling the heat.
"No matter what rank we are in, no matter how far we go from the semifinals...(It doesn't matter) Our fans are cheering for us. I'm not going to be in the same condition every day, but our players just do as best they can in a given position."
