KORKim Tae-ryong, the longest-serving general manager in professional baseball with the Doosan Bears, stepped down yesterday (October 19).
Kim, who had served as Doosan's general manager for 16 years since 2011, took a step back from the front line to take on an advisory role for the club.
The former general manager joined the OB Bears in July 1990 and worked in the front office for 36 years, spending the longest time at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, which is now set to disappear into history.
We sat down with him—a living witness to both the Doosan franchise and Jamsil Stadium—to hear vivid history and behind-the-scenes stories.
