Daegu Lions Park on the 26th.

The atmosphere of the Samsung Lions, who cheered for their first win after two consecutive losses in the Korean Series, was quite different from the previous day. The stagnant atmosphere began to feel energized, and fans who gathered outside the stadium early also prepared to enter with an excited look.



A special gift arrived at the entrance of the Rafak (a nickname for Lions Park).

Samsung captain Koo Ja-wook called for a coffee car himself. Beverages and bread provided by famous local franchisees were provided to the team and officials. Captain Koo Ja-wook will buy it!', 'The strongest Samsung Lions!' Along with the message, Koo Ja-wook's cheering song came out nonstop.



Koo Ja-wook is looking at the Korean Series more desperately than anyone else.

Koo has a batting average of 343 (169 hits in 493 at-bats) with 33 homers and 115 RBIs in 129 games this season, and 1.044 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) is the core of Samsung's batting lineup this fall. However, in the first playoff game against the LG Twins on the 13th, he injured his left knee while trying to steal. He quickly moved to Japan to receive treatment using the rest day, but his knee is still not 100%. We had no choice but to watch the team lose the previous two Korean Series games.



It is indescribable that there is no other way but to watch his colleagues, who have been with him throughout the season, struggle. In the midst of this, a meaningful victory earned on the home turf. There is nothing you can do inside the ground, but it was a coffee car with a desire to continue the momentum even outside.
