San Francisco Giants Club SNS Fortunately, Jeong-hoo Lee (San Francisco Giants), who homered in his third game in his major league debut, recovered his precious ‘home run ball’. Coincidentally, the people who picked up Lee Jeong-hoo’s home run ball were fans of the opposing San Diego Padres, laughing and saying, “I like Kim Ha-seong (San Diego) the most.”
Jeong-hoo Lee started as the leadoff hitter and center fielder in the 2024 MLB game against the San Diego Padres held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA on the 31st (Korea time) and recorded 1 hit in 4 at- bat , 1 home run, and 2 RBI.
Lee Jeong-hoo, who added an RBI with a sacrifice fly to right field in the 5th inning with one out and 2nd and 3rd out when the team was ahead 2-0, did not miss the opportunity in the 8th inning.
Lee Jeong-hoo recorded a big solo shot with a distance of 124 meters against opposing left wing Tom Cosgrove. With 1 ball and 1 strike, he pulled a 125 km/h sweeper on the 3rd pitch and passed the right center fence.
With this, Lee Jung-hoo became the 15th Korean player to hit a home run in the big leagues, following Choo Shin-soo, Kang Jeong-ho, Choi Hee-seop, Choi Ji-man, Kim Ha-seong, Lee Dae -ho, Park Byeong-ho, Kim Hyun-soo, Park Hyo-jun, Park Chan-ho, Ryu Hyun-jin, Baek Cha-seung, Hwang Jae-gyun, and Bae Ji-hwan. I gave my name up.
The team won 9-6 thanks to the performance of Lee Jeong-hoo, who posted an RBI in three consecutive games.
According to the San Francisco team, Lee Jeong-hoo hit his first historic major league home run. The ball he hit went over the fence in the rain, but coincidentally, a San Diego fan caught it.
SF posted a commemorative photo of Lee Jeong-hoo catching his first home run and taking a commemorative photo with his family via the club’s SNS.
According to ESPN, the family gave Lee Jung-hoo a commemorative sphere and he received three autographed balls and a San Francisco hat as gifts.
The club introduced, “The family that caught Lee Jeong-hoo’s first home ball is from the Bay Area, but lives in San Diego.”
What’s interesting is that the favorite player of the fan who returned the Lee Jung-hoo memorial ball is another Korean major leaguer, Kim Ha-seong. The family members who returned the ball expressed their love for Kim Ha-seong to Lee Jeong-hoo.
Lee Jeong-hoo, who heard this, smiled and promised through an interpreter, “I will tell your story to Ha Seong-hyung.”
