Episode 199 That guy, that guy, that guy (8)

As the saying goes, “If you plant beans, you’ll get beans,” and “If you plant red beans, you’ll get red beans,” people often say that blood is thicker than water. In particular, it is widely accepted that there is a so-called sports DNA in the sports world.

As the number of second-generation athletes has increased, athletes with exceptional athletic ability have often been told by fans to hurry up and give them their second generation. These demands from fans may sound like jokes at first, but they are very sincere and are another reason for them to watch sports.

A son who reminds me of his father’s younger days is making history again on the stage where his father was active. If possible, it would be even better if he were to make history on the team he supports.

Of course, this is something that is only possible in the distant future and is unlikely to be realized, but without this kind of romantic imagination, there is no reason to watch sports.

However, the argument of baseball fans demanding that Han Jae-yi release the second generation of baseball players was the same.

└Han Je-i should have two sons and send one of them to Korea.

└There will only be two?

└R.O. Han Je-yi’s father also had three sons, but only the youngest one skipped school because of sports.

└Son gacha ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

└ Gacha to people ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so cheap, really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└If Han Je-yi’s son takes after his father, he’ll probably be really good at baseball

└Bigbo destroyer ㄷㄷㄷ

└He doesn’t even think about giving rice cakes, but he drinks the kimchi stew whole lol

└Hmm. I’m just an ordinary baseball fan. Why are you doing that?

Fans shouting in the outfield of PNC Park and fans watching the game on TV had similar comments. Of course, some said, “Do you think your children will only inherit the good things?”, “It’s fortunate that Han Je-yi is into sports, otherwise he would have made a mark in the back alleys.” There were some who made quite cool-headed judgments, but they did not attract much attention.

People sometimes lose their objectivity when it comes to those they are in love with. This is what is called a case of a bean-pod being properly peeled.

“Okay.”

A townhouse in Manhattan, New York. Jung-Hoon’s situation was not much different, as he watched his youngest son’s game on TV in the living room, where passersby would turn around at least once.

-Swinging strike! Johnny Garlick closes out the inning with a strikeout! It was a changeup with a significant drop. It seems like even the batter couldn’t stand it.

Jeong-Hoon said this after seeing the swing and miss of the Pirates’ promising pitcher.

“That team is full of pure fans.”

Then, the two brothers who were lying on the floor with the sofa as their backs licked their lips as if they had promised.

Fan? The youngest son of this house was the one who popularized such an unsophisticatedly large swing in the league. And in fact, if you look at the swing alone, there was no fan as good as Han Je-yi.

Of course, not all hitters with big swings are called whirlwinds. If the contact ability is supported, there is no problem at all whether the swing is big or small.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Tsk tsk, that kid is all show and already doing hero swings.”

Anyway, as the brothers grew older and more perceptive, they chose to play along with their father rather than spoil his fun.

That’s understandable. Lately, Jeong-Hoon’s shoulders have been skyrocketing. It was obvious at first glance that he was proud of Han Je-I, who had become the most famous person in the family.

I knew from my mother that she would search for the three letters of Han Jae’s name several times a day in the study, and even though she said she was busy, she would always accompany the Cubs on their away games to New York.

‘I am Hanjei Abib.’

The faint smile that was often caught on camera was a bonus. The brothers would sometimes giggle secretly whenever they noticed their father’s unfamiliar appearance.

“Wow. I didn’t know my father was Papa Hedgehog.”

“Maybe I should have gone a little wrong when I was younger? I set my expectations too high from the start.”

“brother.”

“why?”

“It’s not like you can always deviate just because you want to.”

“…….”

“What if my brother went astray? What else would he have done but skipped class? He would have gone out in the morning and come back in the afternoon to apologize and turn himself in.”

“…Little brother.”

“why.”

“You… know too much about me. I guess I should just die.”

“Ah! Are you crazy? How old are you and you’re still pinching me? Ah! Is this person crazy? Let me put this down!”

Jung-Hoon silently turned up the TV volume. The Cubs were pummeling the Pirates pitchers, and Johnny Garlick was no longer the nervous rookie he had been last year.

Johnny Garlick, still pale but relatively relaxed, sat in the dugout, grinning and applauding as the game ended with the Cubs’ victory, and the outfielders, who had been receiving fungos all day, laughed as if they had been liberated at the sight of him.

And the interview that followed the game satisfied Jeong-Hoon once again.

-Finally! The prince that Cubs fans have been waiting for has arrived. Yes, everyone. You may now take your seats. Thank you. And Jay, it’s been a while. Nice to meet you! How have you been?

-Well… how have you been? Yes.

-Why do you look like that? What’s wrong?

-That’s possible. Yes. Please ask your question.

Han Jae-yi smiled bitterly at the reporter who was overdoing it to make fun of him. He couldn’t even figure out where it went wrong.

“Hey. Our youngest’s temper has really died down.”

“You’re all grown up, you’re all grown up. An adult should know how to be patient, right?”

“You earn a lot of money instead.”

“Oh, right. There’s a new car. I’ll have to ask Jay to pick one out for me.”

“If you do that literally, you’ll probably get cut off.”

“Then I must grab a piece of it.”

The brothers who had been fighting until just now burst into laughter at the sight, but Jeong-Hoon was pleased from a completely different perspective.

“Prince? Hmm… So I’m a king?”

If you look at the text itself, it wasn’t wrong. However, the brothers laughed awkwardly and couldn’t confirm or deny it.

‘Let’s pretend we don’t know.’

‘Do you want to go out?’

‘Brother, leave first.’

‘Let’s get up at the same time when we count one, two, three.’

Recently, broadcasting station officials have been using it in their programs to soften the nicknames such as the Prince of Chicago and the Prince of the Cubs, but they knew what modifiers were originally attached to the name of the prince.

* * *

The Pittsburgh Pirates, based in Pittsburgh, the largest inland port city in the United States, are called pirates, as their team name suggests. The Pirates players also call themselves the Pirates, and their captain is the Pirate Captain, so they must be quite proud of that name.

We swept those Pirates, so we can consider this a successful anti-piracy campaign.

As expected from MLB, which boasts a long history, the team and players have many nicknames. Yandy and Wheaton, who contributed greatly to the victory in games 2 and 3, are players who stand at complete opposite ends in that sense.

“These days, I suddenly had this thought. I wonder if I’m just not keeping up with trends…….”

“What trend?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. You’re trying to break the Guinness World Record for bat-throw distance, and Yandy is a front-runner in the fight to change MLB rules.”

Wheaton boasted that next season’s rule change will include a provision that “pitchers shall not yell on the mound for any reason.”

In fact, there was absolutely no chance of that happening, but I nodded in sympathy.

“Of course not. Yandy is going too far.”

“Are you going to take a step back?”

“It’s my specialty. I’m a little embarrassed that you brought it up.”

“Hehehe, this is it. If you pretend to be embarrassed, they’ll fool you.”

Wheaton is a good man, without a doubt. If it were any other gentleman, he would have added a few harsh words here and forcefully shut my mouth, but Wheaton didn’t do that.

Instead, he spent a few minutes reviewing the last game and then disappeared, saying he needed to rest for his next appearance. This was truly a model student’s attitude.

There were quite a few fans who liked the mature look of Wheaton. Of course, the nickname ‘my daughter’s groom’ is not given to just anyone.

When a player has a nickname other than his name, it can have several meanings. It can be seen as a sign of impressive performance, but it can also have a negative meaning.

-There was once a man called World Glass… … .

-It was so expensive that I even heard the sound of glassware… … .

-In the meantime, if it broke once, it would take at least half a year for after-sales service, so there was a flood of refund requests to the agency… … .

…want to fight?

-Did I say something that didn’t happen? I didn’t say anything!

Show me what happens if you just say something like “open mouth”?

-Heeeeek!

…anyway.

It’s a world of difference compared to a few years ago. Now that the season is in early August, our fans are excited that the district championship will be confirmed soon. And they are also excited about my performance.

He was seriously saying things that were embarrassing to hear, like, “We need to hold the coronation as soon as possible,” or “We need to put a plaque with the number 41 on it on the outside wall of Wrigley Field.”

“It would be nice to have a prince on our team. We won’t have to worry about what to call him.”

… but I’m still the loser in the team.

The players were talking about Players Weekend, which will be held at the end of this month. It is an event where players play for a series under a nickname of their choice instead of their registered name, and nicknames are sometimes chosen through fan votes or teammates’ recommendations. Our team is probably going to be the latter.

“What are you going to do, Casey?”

“Um… the hottest guy in the universe?”

Since nickname-emblazoned uniforms are released as a commemorative item, everyone would want to use a cool and meaningful nickname, but that’s just a luxury for this team.

“Who the hell is doing what they want!”

“Cassie, come here and have some cookies.”

“For fuck’s sake, call me Cash one more time.”

“Come here, Case. Here’s some warm milk, your favorite.”

“…….”

As Casey stormed out of the locker room in a fit of rage, Victor, who had thrown the last punch, cracked his back and laughed. Then he high-fived Andy and plotted to put a special pink ribbon on Casey’s uniform.

“Casey would like that too.”

“Of course.”

There is no devil like this one. The one dangling above my head looks like an angel.

“What, why again?”

And then I met eyes with Yandy, who was smiling sinisterly in the corner. Yandy, whose popularity among Cubs fans is skyrocketing by the day, honestly looked pale compared to before the season.

Moreover, after attending the All-Star Game, he doesn’t just walk. He walks with a swaying motion, as if he’s following a rhythm, and the players have reached an implicit agreement to ignore that sway.

“Um. Do you have a nickname in mind?”

“Yandy.”

As if it was a question he had been waiting for, Yandy quickly revealed his unusually bright teeth and spoke.

“sun.”

… Yeah, well.

“sorry.”

“Huh? Why?”

“No. I’m just sorry about everything. Go do your business.”

Who can I blame? It was my fault for asking, yes.

There are too many crazy people on the team.
