That was your brother?
What a nice brother you have! You two are alike.
You do the team more harm than good.
Must be a twin brother.
YANG Seung-gwan!
Who do you think you are?
What makes you think you're so much better than me?
Hey!
We're no different, okay?
Cut it out!
Let go of me.
We're no different?
You call yourself a pitcher? Have you ever won?
Knock it off!
Okay, let go.
Look.
Wake up.
Wake the hell up.
We're pro.
You don't belong here.
That's enough!
- Get him out of here! - Let's go.
Let go!
That arrogant bastard!
Don't let him get to you.
"W-wanna h-have coffee with me"? Like that!
- I couldn't believe it. - Me neither.
- Sa-yong. - Hey there.
You know what I said? "Get the hell out of my face!"
Watch your language if you wanna get married.
Don't worry about it.
Sa-yong was awesome today.
I think a good arm runs in the family.
I have a good arm too.
Are you sick?
It's just the flu. She had an IV today.
The flu in mid summer?
I told you to stop working.
What would we live on then?
Every penny counts if I wanna marry you all off.
I'll make money, okay?
Move your jump rope!
Didn't I tell you to move this?
What if you break down?
I'm making money, am I not?
Stop it, man!
Don't take it out on her for having a rough day!
Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you lots of money.
By driving a freaking cab?
- You're gonna get it! - Cut it out!
What's wrong with you?
Let go of me. You have no right to lecture me.
All you do around here is drink and gamble!
If you have time to drink, help Mom with the shop.
Stop drinking, okay?
Why the hell did you drink and make a scene today?
Stay out of my business. Leave me alone!
Sa-yong!
Sammi Superstars
Ho-bong against the Dragons.
Dong-chul against the Lions.
Moon-hyun, you're up against PARK Chul-soon.
I'm not feeling well due to the flu.
I took medicine, but...
How about you?
I have a shoulder problem.
Damn.
Dong-chul.
Enough!
Get out of here.
Go.
What?
Got anything to say?
Coach.
Let me do it.
Dragon's last offense. Batter at the plate
Strike out!
It's over!
We won!
This is their first win in a long time!
Hey.
I've been looking for you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
How's it going with that guy from the market?
What do you see in him?
Who?
GAM Sa-yong, of course!
When'd I say I liked him?
Why do you like PARK Chul-soon?
You can't possibly compare him to GAM Sa-yong.
What makes them different?
Do I have to tell you?
- Get the phone, will you? - Okay.
Hold on, I'm coming.
Hello?
- Who was it? - Just hung up.
You think it was Sa-yong?
Thanks.
Hi, Mom.
What are you doing here? Go home.
You always say that to me.
I bought a shirt for you.
So tacky!
Nobody wears a shirt like that.
Look at the color.
Sam-yong might like it.
Fine, I will give it to him.
He'll be ecstatic.
Take a look, Miss.
Mom.
- Tomorrow... - Oh!
Will you change the battery for the clock?
I was in great condition.
Every ball I threw was a strike.
You should've seen me.
Did you eat?
Sure, it's past dinnertime.
You know what 'battery' is?
They call Gwang-ock and me a battery.
Not the one you use for the clock.
It's a pitcher and a catcher. Isn't that funny?
Stop idling and go practice. Isn't that what ball players do?
Don't disappoint your fans.
I don't have any.
Nobody likes me.
That's not true!
Your son isn't so great.
I'm out of here.
Already?
You don't like me here anyway.
See you at home.
GAM Sa-yong!
Keep your back straight. You call yourself a man?
And every once in a while, you look great to me.
I don't know about others, but I'm your huge fan.
Are you sure? You always bark at me.
20 Consecutive Wins for PARK Chul-soon!
I'm not pitching today, but I'm so nervous.
Sa-yong, nobody will blame you if we lose.
Just do your thing.
Look who's talking! Aren't you tired of losing?
God, so many people.
We might win today.
They're not here for us.
If we beat the Bears today, they will beat us to death.
Come on, be confident!
Let's go!
Go Superstars!
Hello, baseball fans. We have a full house today.
They're here to witness a record to be set by PARK Chul-soon.
GAM Sa-yong is starting for the Superstars today.
It's his first time starting. What can you tell us abut him?
I don't think many baseball fans are familiar with him.
He's been a relief for losing games.
I'm sure he's very nervous starting for the first time.
Let's see how he does it.
- According to his scout report... - Okay.
Ah...
As PARK Chul-soon walks to the mound,
PARK Chul-soon is going for a 20-straight-game win.
In the history of Major League,
only three pitchers set the record of a 19-game-straight win.
If he extends his winning streak to number 20 today,
it will be a world record.
An actress, JANG Lee-ran, will throw the first ball.
165 cm high weighing 50 kilos,
she's every man's sweetheart.
Isn't she a fox, or what?
You have an extensive knowledge in every field besides baseball.
Check her out.
Isn't she a knockout?
I should get her autograph later.
Play ball!
It's already started.
One ball and two strikes.
The fourth pitch by PARK.
He hits it.
The second baseman catches and throws it to first...
Out!
He's a great infield player.
And he has a strong arm.
PARK Chul-soon is making a very good start.
Overwhelmed by his pitching,
Sammi finishes the 1st inning without scoring.
The first batter for OB, SHIN, is at bat.
He's batting 0.298 with nine home runs this season.
He's not a home run hitter but has a high slugging percentage.
He contributes a lot to the team.
GAM Sa-yong...
...throws the first pitch.
He goes for the first pitch, but ends up swinging.
That was some nerve by GAM Sa-yong.
The second pitch is thrown.
GAM's ball is slow, making it harder to hit
Third pitch
Ground ball to second,
he catches and throws it to first.
Out!
He has some good stuff tonight.
He pitches.
Strike!
OB's batters are not used to his pitches.
Ground ball to third,
he catches and throws it to first.
Out!
He pitches, and the batter swings.
A foul ball!
The catcher runs for it and catches it!
That was a good start for GAM Sa-yong.
OB's batters are having trouble with his slow pitches.
They're just not used to them.
Score some runs, boys. Let's go!
What were you doing? His stuff isn't any good.
Damn.
Send it away, Gwang-ock. Let's go!
Why don't you turn on the radio? You don't like baseball?
I do. A lot.
You guys okay with that?
Okay then.
Oh, PARK Chul-soon is pitching today.
Yeah, for 20 straight wins!
That'll be a piece of cake against the Superstars.
GAM Sa-yong is doing great.
A good defense will be a great support for him.
GAM Sa-young...
Eun-ah, turn on the TV!
GAM Sa-yong is on!
Get up.
There!
I was at the store and saw him on TV.
They're losing, two nothing.
What's going on here? I thought he was a bench warmer.
You didn't know Chul-soon's playing?
He's a pretty cool guy
What was that? It was deliberate, wasn't it?
Sorry.
You can make it up later.
Sa-yong, don't worry about it.
I'll catch them all.
Yeah, we can do this.
We have nothing to lose.
Fine, let their fans beat us to death tonight.
Let's send Chul-soon home crying.
Let's go!
His ball has nasty movements. He sure can control the ball.
He throws the second pitch.
PARK Chul-soon is...
GAM Sa-yong pitches.
It's safe.
Deep into the left field...
Out!
He throws. Out!
This is his fourth strike out
Wearing those panties I gave you?
He bunts it toward third and runs. He slides for the base... but out!
Come on, that's not out! Do your job right!
The problem is he's being too greedy.
Top of the fifth, one out, with a runner on first...
YANG Seung-gwan is at bat.
It's a great chance for Sammi.
The runner on first has fast feet
and YANG is one of Sammi's best batters.
He even made it to the All-Stars.
It's a hit and run chance for Sammi.
PARK Chul-soon in set motion...
The runner starts running, and it flies into centerfield.
The runner goes for third.
He's gotta go for it!
As the centerfielder misses it, he runs for home.
Come on! Come on!
Stop! Stop!
Safe!
Nice!
One more run! One more run!
GAM Sa-young looks tired, catching his breath.
He's been doing great tonight.
He hits it. Ground ball into first.
The first baseman catches and tosses it
to GAM coming in for a cover.
He didn't see the batter from behind.
Out!
Wake up!
- Are you okay? - Did he hurt his head?
GAM Sa-yong is still down on the ground.
Take a look.
He was pushed hard from behind onto the ground.
I hope it's not serious.
Wake up
- He's awake. - Sa-yong.
He opened his eyes.
He's getting up slowly with the help of fellow players.
Look at him smiling after such a huge collision.
That's unbelievable.
What a marvelous spirit!
I don't think Sammi is considering changing pitchers.
That's right. I don't see anyone in the bullpen.
They're counting on GAM.
GAM Sa-yong! GAM Sa-yong!
What's your last name? KIM or GAM?
- It's my brother. - What?
The pitcher is my brother.
He's my brother!
Everybody!
Turn on your TV now! My brother's on!
My brother!
God, it's hot.
Damn!
Don't we have cold water?
Damn, we got nothing.
Coach, what's our strategy?
Hit it.
Try to hit the ball.
One out with a runner on second, and you're our clean-up hitter.
What strategy do we need?
Relax and keep your eye on the ball.
GUEM is at bat.
I heard the rumor. You're a Major Leaguer, huh?
Face-wise!
I'd kill myself if I were you.
Keep my eye on the ball.
On the ball...
Strike!
Strike two!
Keep my eye on the ball.
Maybe you shouldn't have told him that.
Stop looking and hit it.
On the ball...
You can hit it now!
- Keep going. - It's gone!
They turn the game around!
PARK's ball velocity is quite low.
I can't believe this!
What a home run!
What a drama!
Sammi players are so happy.
YANG comes homes.
This isn't something you see everyday.
All the players are waiting at the home base
It's not something you see everyday
GEUM comes home.
Sammi has turned the game around.
Did you see that? It's a homerun!
Superstars Bears
What's wrong with you tonight?
I'm fine.
What?
I couldn't be better.
It's mine!
Coach, he's thrown too many.
Get the bullpen ready.
Good!
Good job!
Sa-yong, are you okay?
Your shoulders look stiff.
Relax and do your thing.
Let's go!
Will you be okay?
We might actually win thanks to you.
If we do, that's because you hit a home run.
Let's go!
How could he miss that?!
PARK Chul-soon!
To second base!
Bottom of the ninth, Sammi has the lead, 3:2.
It's the last offence for the Bears.
One out with runners on first and second.
It's the biggest challenge for GAM tonight.
That's right.
It's a chance for the Bears to come from behind and win.
A single will tie the game,
and anything more than a double will give them a victory.
Right. Two balls and one strike, SHIN is at bat, 1 for 4 tonight.
He's not any good tonight.
GAM in set motion...
He pitches.
It's a ball.
It's three balls and one strike, a bad situation for GAM.
He looks exhausted.
Not good at all.
With runners on first and second, GAM gets ready to pitch.
He watches the catcher's signs carefully.
He throws the fifth pitch.
High into left field! Is it a homerun?
He runs back, back...
He gets it!
What a catch! A huge break for GAM!
GAM is exhausted,
and the leftfielder, KIM, saves him and the team.
No 3. YOON Dong Gyun
YOON is at bat.
GAM pitches.
He's hit by a pitched ball.
The ball must've slipped out of his hand.
That only happens when the pitcher is tired.
The bases are loaded.
He's rubbing his shoulder. It can't be a good sign.
Anything to say?
I wanna finish the game.
Keep it up.
Got more to say, Coach?
I called for a time out. Might as well use it up.
Bottom of the 9th. Score is 3:2 Two outs with bases loaded!
What an exciting game tonight.
A slugger, KIM Woo-yeol steps up to the batter's box.
GAM can't be happy confronting him.
No pitcher wants to face him in this situation.
He's hit three out-of-the-house home runs at this ballpark.
Furthermore, he has two hits against GAM tonight.
You Are My Superstar! Eun-ah
Two outs!
Looking nervous, GAM watches the catcher's signs.
He has to throw with confidence.
Set motion
He pitches.
KIM swings. What a pitch by GAM.
KIM is greedy for a home run.
His head is turning too early
One more, Sa-yong.
GAM has the advantage with the ball count.
The second pitch...
What a save!
It was a wild pitch.
It was a great block by GEUM.
The game would've been tied if he'd missed it.
Come on, Sa-yong.
Come on...
One ball and one strike, a careless pitch leads to a defeat.
He hits the ball!
It's a foul ball. He swung too fast.
Anything more than a single, will call him a savior for the team.
The fourth pitch...
Ball.
No doubt KIM is going for a big one.
Let's see what happens.
Come on, one more.
This is it.
Come on.
Come on... Come on...
Come on, come on!
You did great.
Good work
I wanted to win.
I wanted to win just once.
I could've won!
You wanna keep it?
Don't be late next time.
And I will win.
PARK Chul-soon 20 Consecutive Wins!
GAM Sa-yong
That's all you do. What are you, Rocky?
- Your son is home, Mom. - What's that?
What'd you buy?
- Did you find it in the alley? - Come on.
Open it.
Come on.
You know what a VCR is?
You gambled again? When will you grow up?
Mom, I'm a hard-working man. I bought it with my money.
- Can I tape TV shows with this? - Of course.
- So I can? - No, I will be doing it.
Get your hands off it. Go jump rope!
We can tape Sa-yong's games and analyze his pitches.
Sport meets science!
Mom! Don't get it wet!
Where's Sa-yong?
Sa-yong!
GAM is marvelous tonight.
He really is.
The second perfect game in a row.
4 perfect games in a row.
What a pitcher!
He pitches.
Later, against the LOTTE Giants,
GAM Sa-yong got his first win that he'd desired for so long.
In the following year, 1983, Sammi Superstars shocked fans
by ending the first half of the season as second in the standing.
