The fierce rivalry between the LG Twins and Doosan Bears in Jamsil over the weekend has come to an end. The result is LG’s 2-1 winning series. In the first game of three consecutive matches held on the 16th, it was a hot match that even led to a bench clearing.
Still, there was a warm moment that warmly melted everyone’s hearts for a while, on the 17th at Jamsil Stadium. Doosan’s attack at the bottom of the third inning. Yang Eui-ji entered the plate at the second out and second base opportunity. The ball count is 2-2. LG starter Kelly’s 7th pitch curve (132km) bounced and headed for catcher Heo Do-hwan. However, the ball dug under the protective gear around Heo Do-hwan’s neck and hit him in the neck. Heo Do-hwan held the ball again and looked at the movement of the runner on second base, but soon collapsed on the spot.

At first, both referee Kim Seon-seon and Yang Eui-ji did not notice Heo Do-hwan’s condition. However, when Heo Do-hwan continued to not wake up, Kim Ju-sim looked at Heo Do-hwan. Ju-sim Kim, who immediately sensed that the situation was not serious, took off Heo Do-hwan’s helmet and turned him over to induce breathing. He took a lap around the plate for a while, and then Yang Ji-ji, who saw this scene, also helped Heo Do-hwan loosen his belt, allowing him to breathe comfortably and without pressure as much as possible. Medical staff immediately rushed out and checked Heo Do-hwan’s condition. Fortunately, Heo Do-hwan woke up right away. Heo Do-hwan, who coughed several times, shook his head and came to his senses before returning to the game.
A situation that could have led to a serious accident if he had not been able to breathe normally in time. As a result, it was the moment when the spirit of partnership between referee Kim Seon-seon and Yang Eui-ji shone. On the 18th, ahead of the Jamsil LG match, I was able to hear about the situation through Yang Eui-ji. Yang Eui-ji recalled the moment of urgency, “At first, I thought it was a simple bouncing ball. But (Huh) Do-hwan seemed to be unable to breathe well because his body was stiff.”
“I was so surprised, but I immediately remembered what I learned in the army. (Kim Seon-su) immediately turned over and unfastened the catcher equipment, and I also unfastened the (pants) belt, which seemed to be under pressure. After the game, Do-hwan said to his brother, ‘Thank you. ‘ was contacted. I hope that all the players will not get hurt in the weather that is getting hotter.”
After the game on the 18th, I was able to meet Heo Do-hwan at Jamsil Stadium. When asked, “Are you okay?”, Heo Do-hwan showed his neck and smiled brightly. His neck, which had been hit by his helmet, had a large black bruise. It was a wound that allowed us to guess how great the shock was at the time. Heo Do-hwan said, “I think I lost my mind for a while after being hit in the neck and couldn’t breathe. Fortunately, I’m fine now. As soon as yesterday’s game was over, I contacted (Yang) Ui-ji and said ‘thank you’. Thank you to everyone.” talked The referee and the players of the opposing team showed the spirit of partnership in a moment of urgency. And Heo Do-hwan, who conveyed his gratitude to them without forgetting them. All of them were heroes with warm hearts.
