Catch the Home Run Ball!!

[TigerNSX]

A Korean baseball player, Seung Yup Lee, has hit 55 home runs this season in Korean Major League. This ties the Asian record of the most home runs in a season. He has 3 more games to go to break this record. Hence, his 56th home run ball will worth $$$$ to many Asians. Here are the pictures of what people would do to catch that ball!!!

Yeah, and if a guy was willing to pay 3 mil for that ball as well, you best believe if I were in Korea I'd have a big a$$ net just like those guys.

Hmm..I wonder how this guy will fare in the American Big League, against the ML pitchers ??

I'm also curious......what are the avg. distances to the outfield walls in Korean Ballparks?

If I was informed correctly, about 60% of all the stadiums is about the size of Yankees stadium (in terms of the distance to the outfield). The rest of them are slightly bigger or smaller than the Yankees stadium. This guy had joined the Major League Spring camp many times previously to prepare for the MLB, and I believe that he will start either next year or a year after with one of the MLB teams when he becomes an FA (just like Matsui).
