The battery of Park Chul-soon and Kim Kyung-moon, who led the OB Bears to victory in the inaugural year of professional baseball, and the battery of Kim Yong-soo and Kim Dong-soo, who combined for LG's first championship in 1990, took on the roles of ceremonial batter and catcher for the final Jamsil All-Star Game.

In front of approximately 23,000 fans who sold out the stadium for the fifth straight year despite the heatwave, the players' colorful performances captured everyone's attention.

Dream All-Star starter Kwak Been drew big laughs by appearing while reenacting the video of "I Like You," which became a viral sensation. Hanwha's Kang Baek-ho performed his signature move of spinning around after a swing and a miss, while dressed in a ballerina outfit.

LG's home run leader Austin Dean brought two different performances to amuse the fans: first as a Texas gunslinger, and then as "Austin of Jamsil," wearing a traditional Korean durumagi coat.

Doosan's keystone combination of Park Joon-soon and Park Chan-ho received applause for erasing a potential hit by Kang Baek-ho with a brilliant defensive play in the 5th inning.

During the cleaning time performance, which has become a stage for the biggest stars of the era, singer WOODZ sang his hit songs, gifting fans a romantic summer night.
