Autumn baseball, the end of the year's farming. The contrast between the winner and the loser is starkly different. The head coach's inner mind, who holds the key to the match, where everyone has no choice but to be happy with the result, is bound to be black like charcoal. Despite this, the dignity of coach Yoshii and Chiba Lotte players, who showed behind the painful result of elimination, was enough to be praised.
This was often seen in KBO League fall baseball. KT manager Lee Kang-chul, who lost at the end of Game 5 in the semi-playoff, visited LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who is a year younger than high school, and congratulated him.
The professional world where the results say everything, and the leader's heart to celebrate the victory, leaving the pain of defeat behind, are bound to shine that much. It's a romance that only the ground can produce.
