This Just Proves That Foreigners Love the KBO...

In the 7th inning of Sunday's Hanhwa/LG matchup, another guy chose to run across the field, but this time his message was a little more positive than last year's barefoot, drunk Canadian or the shirtless Korean dude.



Sporting a Korean national team hat and a Korean flag as a cape, this guy wanted to show all of Seoul how much he likes Korean baseball.


His first stop was center field. He wanted a high five from Park Yong-taek, but Park was ready for a pound. I'm not sure, but I think this concluded with an awkward fist/high five, with the foreign dude clutching Park's fist.


He's heading for second...



Into second standing up...



He's going to try for 3!



But, they've got him in a run down!



And he's out!

Bonus points for the amused umpire just milling around and smiling.

They stopped him because everybody knows in Korean baseball you can't run around the bases unless somebody bunted!

hey man, Im the guy that ran on the field.

To help your story

1- he high fived me and wasnt closed to punching me

2- I also rounded 3rd and made it 2 steps to home where the umpire stood on the plate and shook his head, and then they caught me a second after that

3- it was the greatest thing Ive done here, and yes, i love Korea.

Cheers
