Hello, I am the head of the 〈Hankyoreh〉 sports team. Congratulations on your inauguration. Reading the inaugural remarks, etc., I feel a special love for baseball. I’ve also heard stories of playing an active part in shortstop on the socited baseball team. May the governor’s love for baseball lead to policies such as player welfare. During the inaugural press conference (on the 5th), there was a bit of a puzzle. The answers were “minimizing going to the site and taking time away” and “It doesn’t seem right to go to Dougout.” I understand the purpose of the word. You might be wondering if the players will be uncomfortable. But I want to see it differently. If the ballpark protocol catches up, it will definitely hurt the training of players before the game. But what if there is no unnecessary protocol. There are people who are always talked about as major league commissioners. I’m the former Commissioner of the Bird Selig, as you probably already know. From 1992 (including agency period) to 2014, the former Selig Commissioner, who was the head of the major leagues, established three districts in the two major leagues, introduced a division series, wildcards, and interleague, an exchange between the two major leagues. The imposition of a luxury tax and redistribution of revenue led to a leveling of power in the major leagues and an end to the era of steroid-stained drugs. Another one. In 2000, when he was in power, the major leagues launched MLBAM (MLB Advanced Media) to enable paid Internet streaming by receiving an investment of 1 million dollars (1.1 billion won) per team for 4 years from each club. Since 2003, the major leagues have broadcast their games on the Internet, and based on this know-how, they are currently in charge of Internet streaming services such as the North American Ice Hockey League (NHL) and the American Professional Golf (PGA) tour. Bob Bowman, former president of MLBAM, said. “If you put the fan first (when building the system), the rest will follow by itself.” It must have come from the bold decision of the pre-Selig commissioner, of course, to build that system. During his tenure in office, the former commissioner of the Se-League toured 30 ball parks in the major leagues, meeting players and coaches, and having an active conversation. Is that just that? I even met the baseball field workers and listened to them. Not only the fans. This has been something I have been doing since I was the owner of the Brewers in Milwaukee. His theory was that all the answers were in the field. Says the former commissioner of the Selig. “It’s the best way to understand what real baseball is and why baseball is so special to meet and talk with everyone in the field.” When everyone takes office, they talk about innovation. It is said that it will be different from others. However, the first step in innovation is direct communication. The baseball field should be a place to open your ears, not to open your mouth under the direction of the’governors’. You can also take a tour of District 2 Stadium. Maybe there is an answer there. Instead of a governor wearing a stiff tie, leading the club president and general manager and showing up on the ballpark, he came out in a modest outfit in jeans and talked without hesitation to players, batting ball pitchers, bullpen catchers, and field workers. I would like to see. If I want to see the governor as a real’commissioner’ rather than a’Korean baseball head’, is my greed too much? 20,000 guns. [email protected]
