Went to a game in Seoul last night (Nexen Heroes vs Kia Tigers) and there, playing first base for Kia, was Hee-Seop Choi. I enjoyed following his four or five year run in the MLB, but had never seen him in person. What a massive guy! He looked like an absolute giant compared to his teammates.
Doug Clark (UMass and a handful of ML games with the Giants) is in his 3rd year with the Heroes and went yard twice.
But Choi -- what a massive person in a country of not-so-big people!! The fans love him!
