  • An LG player said he hit the first home run of his life at Jamsil Stadium.
  • The stadium’s deep, curved outfield makes home runs toward center and the gaps particularly difficult.

“It’s the first time in my life.” An LG player spoke with a smile after hitting the first home run of his career at Jamsil Stadium.

Jamsil’s outfield is exceptionally large, stretching 125 meters to center field and 100 meters to the corners. Because the wall curves around the outfield, hitting a home run to center or either gap is particularly difficult.

Even pulling the ball over the fence is no easy task at Jamsil, whose outfield area is larger than that of almost any Major League Baseball stadium.

It’s the first time in my life.
