The uniform has changed, but Park Byung-ho’s feelings for his former teammates have not. Now beginning the second chapter of his baseball career as a senior coach for the Kiwoom Heroes’ reserve team, he prepared a surprise for his old Samsung Lions teammates.

A special coffee truck appeared at one side of Goyang Stadium before the Futures League game between Kiwoom and Samsung on the 7th. The truck carried Park’s former Samsung jersey number, turning the pregame gift into a clear reminder of his time with the club.

Park has moved into a coaching role with Kiwoom, which now puts him on the opposing side. But the gesture presented him as the same good person to his former teammates, even after leaving Samsung.
