South Korean breaks world record for home runs
A South Korean baseball player slugged his way into the history books Saturday when his three-run shot in the second inning broke the world record for consecutive-game home runs in the professional ranks, according to news reports.
Lotte Giants infielder Lee Dae-ho, playing against the Kia Tigers in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, blasted his ninth straight homer in as many games, according to Yonhap News.
On Friday, Lee tied the world record for homers in eight straight games shared by Major League Baseball's Ken Griffey Jr., Don Mattingly and Dale Long. In that game, Lee was bummed because his team lost 10-7. “Today I feel somewhat unhappy as my team was defeated,’’ Lee said, according to the Korean Times.
"I only tried to hit properly to advance and made it with a homerun. I was also surprised to see the ball pass over the fence,’’ Lee was quoted as saying.
Lee had a .365 batting average going into Saturday's game.

nah fool
its ryu hyun jin
So what. He did it against Korean pitching. Most of those pitchers barely touch 90 mph. Bringing Korean baseball up in the same breath as MLB is a joke. The only records that count are in America baseball, where the best players in the world play. Ken Griffey Jr., Don Mattingly and Dale Long's 8 consecutive HR games is much more impressive because it was against MLB pitching. Comparing Korean baseball to the MLB's is like comparing little league baseball to minor league baseball.
TJ, then do you remember who got the second place in world baseball classic? Do you remember which teams scored low ERA? well was it major leaguers? I doubt so. The most impressive major leaguer was Matsuzaka. and that was it.
I thought the whole game was a homerun derby. well, because the pitchers who were hitten lot were MAJOR LEAGUERS.
Does anyone care about South Korean baseball, let alone the world baseball classic? Yeah hitting a homerun in 8 straight games is a tough thing to do in any level of baseball, but if this guy wants to be a 'good' player he has to play in the MLB. You would think if you hit .365 and 8 straight games with a homerun you could make the majors, but then again there is a reason why scouts get paid so much so there has to be a reason for that.
나는 영어는 모르겠고,
연속홈런이 쉬운줄 아냐
전성기 약본즈가 와서 4할에 60홈런을 때리더라도
9경기 연속 홈런은 장담 못할걸?
Don't feed the troll
guys, please -0-
make some research abt KBO before u diss it..
most of the foreign players going into KBO either played in MLB till their last season befrore KBO or they were top AAA players
and the truth is most of them fail to make a contract for another year
it is very true that KBO isnt as great as MLB
but KBO has its unique style and it is far above triple A.
My team LG Twins had Edgar Gonzales from MLB as its foreign player this year
he never had a signle win and had a lot worse record. he had to fly back to the states in the middle of the season
so hitting HRs in 9 gaems straight in KBO is dfenitely something
Are you kidding me? Whoever is bashing this guy are idiots. You are just jealous. He is in a MAJOR LEAGUE baseball league. It counts. Just b/c it's not the major leagues that you watch doesn't mean it doesn't count.
Yeah... its such difficult to hit a ball with pitchers on STEROIDS...
these koreans probably play a game closer to how it was back when i played. The MLB is more about money, performance enhancing drugs than the game now.
NOT TO MENTION-many of the MLB's best players are increasingly players coming to the usa from abroad to play. To say that there is NO talent anywhere besides America is ignorant!
Lol. This is quite entertaining. Let's just state it this way for your puny arrogant mind to understand.
MLB > KBO. Therefore both pitchers and hitters are better, correct?
Let's say that the pitchers and hitters in the MLB are 2 and KBO, 1. Therefore if you make a ratio, 2/2 = 1 and 1/1 = 1. It's the same thing. A world record is a world record. It doesn't matter if a kid breaks a world record or an adult, it's all the same.
I don't even know anything about baseball but i can already tell that the people supporting Lee Dae-ho know more than half the people supporting this post.
@BW You are a Moron. Rice and Fish? South Korea is the 2nd most expensive country to live in, in the world, behind England.
Griffey Jr. and so on They hit the home run many years ago and Lee hit the homerun these days although there was Korea. And if drug man play baseball in Korea drug man never can't hit the 9straight home-run Don't look down Korean baseball
Congratulations to him on a great achievement! Will we be seeing him in MLB?
Lotte Giants club proposes an air conditioner of current price 300 dollars to the spectators who picked up an international new record home run ball.
after 2011 season, Lee DaeHo will get Free Agent Qualification.
nothing clear whether he gonna stay or not
He is the most valuable player of Giants. Giants might put every effort to make him stay.
I'm proud of Dae Ho And hope to stay around in LOTTE GIANTS FOREVER!!!
That's a lot of homers

Lotte Giants club's suggest the fan(gain world record homerun ball) air conditioner(market price is 300$)
it's true ㅎㅎㅎ

TJ, a good percentage of American baseball players are not even Americans, so stop being a hater and enjoy this bit of baseball history.

You miss my point. It has nothing to do with nationality. It's about the quality of the league. Do you think that the pitching this guy is facing in Korea is nearly as good as MLB? If you do, you have no clue about baseball. I have been watching baseball my whole life. My issue is that the article tries to make a comparison by stating this guy broke a "World Record".
Yes... MLB is bigger and pays better and most important thing is that they get to use STEROIDS! Who doesn't want to compete in a league where only chance of doing well is using STEROIDS. TJ is right MLB is the biggest....using STEROIDS.......
He is best player in Korea.
to TJ :
i dont think this article is trying to make a comparison..
its stating a truth : no one has ever done what Daeho Lee did today in any kind of baseball league.
obviously, mlb is so much better than the korean league, but what we focus on is that he did homers in 9 consecutive games.
@LH
To quote: 'no one has ever done what Daeho Lee did today in any kind of baseball league'
Not true!: http://bdtonline.com/localsports/x1048529890/Illig-breaks-local-Little-League-home-run-record-with-20
The article states: '...Illig slammed 18 home runs in 19 games during the regular season, and he’s added two more in six games as an All-Star...' My calculus says that he had to hit a minimum at 9 HR in a row during that stretch for that to be true, and he likely hit more. So that record was equaled, and likely exceeded in "any kind of baseball league"...... (You would be more compelling if you more carefully worded your arguments....)
The math only works if you assume he hit no more than one homer in a game. Perhaps he hit several in the first game, had a dry spell, and then another hot game etc...
@ Veritas , we are talking about pro league, as you may know.
Playing against "Special Olympic Teams" doesn't count.
Uh, so who won the Olympic gold medal in baseball in 2008? Which teams were in the WBC final? Hmmm... you don't know obviously.
@CN77 – While I understand the point you're trying to make, just take a look at USA's Olympic Team in 2008: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics. South Korea did win, but essentially against a bunch of MLB Minor Leaguers. Wonder how they would have hit against Roy Halliday, CC Sabathia, Josh Beckett, Justin Verlander, Cliff Lee?....well you get the idea. My guess is probably not that well!
Most MLB could not compete in Olympics due to STEROIDS use.
TJ
You may have been watching all your life but yet so IGNORANT of others. You say you are a fan of American baseball and that is terrific. You probably can't even catch a ball so stop the hating and maybe every minority baseball player can sign a Walmart t-shirt for you to put in your living room wall along with your patio furniture inside your home.
