For this occasion, he will don a Doosan Bears uniform bearing the number 93, symbolizing Nvidia's founding year of 1993. Chairman Park, whose family owns the Doosan Bears and who played baseball in college, will wear a uniform with the number 96, representing Doosan's founding year of 1896, as he steps up to the plate. Prior to the game, Park and other Doosan executives are expected to meet with Huang for discussions, potentially touching on Nvidia's AI platforms and Doosan's robotics technology.
