Josh Lindblom (35), who played for Lotte and Doosan, announced his retirement.
Lindblom said on social media on the 13th (Korean time), “A friend of mine asked me before the start of last season, ‘What is it like to finish well?’ I woke up every day thinking about that for 7 months.” “Most of us can’t choose when to end. We can’t write our ending, but what we can write is every moment we don’t know when it will end. We never know when the end will be. I realized this.” .
“To finish well is to live each day thinking about the end. At any moment, you have to do your best,” he said. “For 30 years, I played a game that taught me more than balls and strikes, hits and runs, and wins and losses. It taught me about life. I want to thank everyone who has influenced me.” 바카라사이트
