Ryu regrets missing 99 wins...reveals 'declaration of war' message with friend Hwang Jae-gyun
Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles was on the verge of his 99th victory against the KT Wiz when his friend Hwang Jae-gyun took it away from him. After the game at Daejeon Hwasung Eagles Park on April 29, Ryu sent a message to his friend and starting third baseman, Hwang Jae-gyun, saying, "It's a war."
Hwang Jae-gyun laughed about the message and said, "I got a message after the game. He said, 'Let's go to war. He also mentioned his current batting average (0.130) and added, "I'm in a hurry, but I can't afford to consider my friend's situation." He was referring to the situation where Hwang Jae-gyun tied the game against Ryu Hyun-jin in the top of the sixth inning of the 29th game.
The loss denied Ryu his first win since returning to South Korea and his 99th career victory. Ryu had previously failed to reach 99 wins in his final KBO game, making this situation even more frustrating.
Nevertheless, Hwang remained positive, saying that Ryu has many more games ahead of him. "We just need to win 99 in the next game and 100 in the next game," he said, adding that he enjoyed playing against his friend.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-gyun, who is the only Korean player to hit a home run in his MLB debut, also had words of encouragement for Lee Jung-hoo, who recently made his MLB debut. Hwang is confident that Lee will do well in the MLB.
