“Damn it. Why is everyone using such a nice camera for nothing?”

It was on the plane back to Chicago after the game. When Victor, who had checked the photos late, grumbled, Casey, who was eating peanuts, burst into laughter.

“What are all these powders?”

“Well, it’s probably better if you don’t know.”

“Kuuuuuu.”

Casey waved apologetically at Martin, who was still and covered in flying peanut shells.

“So, what was it?”

“What? Peanuts?”

“…No, not that one. I thought you were in the shower room, not on the ground.”

Casey smiled brightly at my words and answered.

“Cleansing foam.”

“Whose idea was it?”

“It’s better not to know.”

Oh, me. It’s obvious to anyone that it was your idea, but you’re just evading it.

“I bet the Marlins grounds maintenance staff would love to know.”

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

“What?”

“When the claim for damages comes, I will humbly accept it.”

“Just don’t cause any accidents.”

“hey.”

Casey, who had eaten every last peanut, lowered his voice and spoke softly.

“I’d rather die now than live for free.”

“…Just die now.”

“Ugh. How could you say something like that-”

Casey, who had pretended to be dead and clutched her heart, came back to life in one second when Andy, who happened to be passing by, attempted CPR.

“Ugh!”

“Casey, are you awake? Are you breathing easier?”

“…I almost died.”

The atmosphere was completely different from just an hour ago.

If you think about it, it’s always been like this. When Victor silently scanned the stands earlier, my heart ached a little. Whether it’s an emotional or gloomy atmosphere, this is a team that can’t last more than a few hours.

“Hey, rascal. Who caught you today?”

“Well, I heard they were looking for you at the front desk.”

“Damn, I’m jealous. I wonder what it’s like to come to watch baseball and win the Powerball.”

As Victor said, I’ve heard that anyone who picks up my home run ball these days literally wins the Power ‘Ball’. If you keep it and put it up for auction, you can get a lot of money from collectors.

That’s why the competition for outfield seats is getting fiercer than infield seats as the days go by. There are still about two weeks left until the season ends. Experts and columnists are all paying attention to whether I can surpass Barry Bonds’ record of 73 home runs.

Well, to be honest, I’ve been a bit greedy lately. It’s literally like writing a page in the history of the major leagues.

But when I got the 3rd place that the fans had been waiting for, I felt relieved. From here on out, it wasn’t something that could be done just by me doing well.

The match situation and team conditions must match well, and it is also important which team we face in the remaining matches. If it is a team that has already given up on the season, I will try to play against them, but if it is a team competing for a wild card or if every match is important, it is likely to avoid a head-on match.

Even now, with Victor and Andy behind me, it’s like this, but if the batting line hadn’t been properly organized… I don’t even want to think about what would have happened.

He might have protested to the front office after setting the record for most intentional walks in a single season, rather than the most home runs in a single season. He might have gone to the general manager’s office and asked to bring in a good hitter.

Compared to that, now is what.

“Who ate all the peanuts that were here?”

“It’s too late, you should have come before Jay eats it all!”

“It’s not me.”

“If you’re hungry, you shouldn’t have said anything. If you eat this many nuts, you’ll get sick.”

“…It’s not me.”

It’s a bit hard to deal with these immature old men, but I have to put up with it. Who else would be able to handle these immature people?

* * *

People tend to hold those who have an outstanding record in a certain field to particularly strict standards. Han Je-yi was no exception.

Some people were not happy with the headlines that flooded the news columns with things like, “The icon who broke records in the steroid era,” and “The fighter who came to turn around a baseball field tainted by drugs.”

└You like fighting. If only it were a dog fight.

└Why? But things are going well these days.

└That doesn’t change the fact that that crazy dog ​​beat up our player.

└Hmm. It’s funny that I don’t know which team he’s a fan of.

└Is it funny? I don’t know what’s funny.

└What’s wrong with people who want baseball players to be saints?

└The problem is their very existence. People who can’t fit the mood are everywhere.

└Look guys, the important thing is that it was always the opposing team that provided the cause. Jay was just protecting himself.

└If you protect it twice, it will be a big problem.

In fact, neither Han Je-yi nor the people around him paid any attention to these people. It was something that had always happened. There was something else that was bothersome.

[MLB) Han Je-yi’s way to work after finishing today’s monthly class.jpg +322]

└Teacher. It’s not that the monthly class is over, it’s the monthly class.

└Your face looks nice. I see you glowing after a day of rest.

└Why is the image quality so good for a paparazzi photo?

└They also have competition. They don’t get paid for bad photos.

└Shit this is fucking crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Guys, is Han Je-i’s level good enough for a monthly salary?

└What are you asking? In the 100-year history of the major leagues, only 3 people, including Han Je-yi, have hit more than 67 home runs. Lol

└The theory that home runs are omnipotent must be rooted out. The possibility that it is a hoax cannot be ruled out.

└ㅇㅇ I’m glad you know it’s nonsense

└So if Han Jae isn’t a World Class member, then who is? LOL Just tell me their names.

└Shhh I can’t say anything because of those damn batteries

└Leave it alone ㅋㅋ If Zug player goes down like this, I’m going to wipe my mouth and run away~

“Hmm.”

On a day off, Han Yeon-woo scratched his chin while searching for his younger brother’s name in the Korean community. Han Yeon-woo, who had once watched the KBO, had some idea of ​​how the so-called ‘board’ works.

It’s still an area I can’t understand, but there are many people in the world who force themselves to support people they hate and find terrifying.

They would talk passionately about moderately great achievements as if they were something only they could achieve in the world. And they would even more gild and exaggerate their already great achievements.

“Have you started working already?”

It was a kind of ‘masquerade ball’. They pretended to be the most ardent fans of Han Jae-yi, put on a mask, and praised him, creating antipathy in people who didn’t know him. Then, if his grades weren’t as good as usual, he would criticize him more harshly than anyone else.

[Han Jae-yi is not world class yet;;; ㄷㄷ]

World class is a title that only suits someone who has been active in one field for at least 10 years.

It is true that Han Jae-yi is an excellent player, but I think it is still too early. Especially for athletes, each season is different, so we need to watch for a few more years.

“In rebuttal… you are wrong…….”

Han Yeon-woo, who wrote the post, pressed enter. Since it was a hot topic on the bulletin board, comments were posted right away.

└Anyone who says your words are wrong when you refute my post is a total idiot

└Really lol

“Huh, heh heh, ha, right, haha…….”

Han Yeon-woo, who had been giggling while looking at the monitor, started typing on the keyboard. And soon after, he hit his knee with his fist.

└Then why don’t you try to refute it? I just stated the correct opinion, so why are you tripping over it?

└Where did the person who just commented go? Why aren’t you refuting it?

└I don’t know who the loners are, lol

└Mr.

└Why?

└You were blocked by that person

└Excuse me, but you are shadow boxing in the air.

└ㅅㅂ

Meanwhile, in an office on the other side of the world, this conversation was taking place.

“What good things are happening to you?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

An office worker who had been humming softly muttered quietly.

“I don’t even know where it came from, it’s just like that.”

* * *

-Yankee: Little brother.

-Yankee: Always be humble and don’t be proud.

-Metzpa: You do well

-Yankee: Ah, broㅡㅡ

The day I returned to Chicago, I took a day off and went to the stadium for the game the next day. My smartphone rang continuously, so I wondered what was going on, and there was this text message.

-Me: Suddenly? I’m humble.

-Yankee: Be more humble than you are now.

-Yankee: Don’t be fooled by people praising you.

-Yankee: Keep your brother’s words in mind.

-Metzpa: How old is Han Yeon-woo?

-Yankee: I’m Yeonwoo, I’m thirty years old.

-Metzpa: But why do you talk like an eighty year old man?

-Yankee: Tsk tsk,,, it’s no use teasing adults,,,!

“Hey, you idiot, why are you looking at me like that?”

“I think my number got leaked somewhere. I keep getting spam texts.”

“It’s a sign that you’ve become a star.”

I pushed my smartphone deep into the locker room and went out onto the field with Victor.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Even if you tell me not to ask, I’ll still ask.”

“That’s true.”

“What is it?”

“Have you ever crossed a line in Victor’s eyes?”

Then Victor nodded his head and answered.

“Wouldn’t it be better to ask about a time when it didn’t happen? After all, my memory is limited.”

“…Okay. I’m the fool who asked.”

Victor chuckled and slapped me on the back as I shook my head and walked ahead.

“I don’t know where you heard it, but let everyone say whatever they want. You’re doing well. Don’t doubt yourself.”

“I won’t fool you anymore. Then you’ll start saying weird things again.”

“You just crossed the line again.”

“Oops.”

This is difficult. I guess I’ll just have to live the way I was born.
