Choi Jeong (37, SSG) hit his 467th home run in a home game against Munhak on the 16th.
At the same time, he tied the record for the most home runs in professional baseball recorded by Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop (48), the ‘Lion King’, during his time as a player. 토토사이트
If Choi Jeong hits one more home run, he will become the sixth home run king at the end of the season.
The reason for assuming 'the end of the season' is because in the early days of professional baseball, the number one home run leader often changed in the middle of the season.
1982, the first year of professional baseball, started with Samsung Lee Man-soo (66), followed by OB Kim Woo-yeol (75), Haitai Kim Bong-yeon (72), Haitai Kim Jun-hwan (69), MBC Baek In-cheon (82), and the season ended with Kim Bong-yeon taking first place again. Yes.
Afterwards, Lee Man-soo and Kim Bong-yeon continued to compete, and in the end, Lee Man-soo recorded his 100th home run first, solidifying the victory.
If we count each time the home run leader changes as once, Choi Jeong becomes the 16th person to be ranked first in his career. 카지노사이트
Including all of these ups and downs, the player who has maintained the top spot in home runs for the longest time is, of course, Lee Man-soo.
Lee Man-soo maintained the title of home run king for a total of 5,379 days over five occasions.
Director Lee is the second person to hold this position for 3,953 days until the 16th.
Choi Jeong-eun, who set the record for the most home runs in a season three times in 2016, 2017, and 2021, is ranked first in this category with 9 home runs this year as well.
So far, there are only two people who have ranked first in career home runs in the same year: Kim Bong-yeon in 1982, and Lee Man-soo in 1984 and 1985. If Choi Jeong wins the home run title this season, it will be the first time in 39 years that the same record has been achieved. Oh, as of this season, the Lotte team has 9 home runs, which is the same as Jeong Jeong's personal record. 토토사이트
