'On behalf of the 10 million spectators, thank you.' Players' Association will give out presents to fans
The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association (hereinafter referred to as the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association) will distribute self-made gifts to fans to commemorate the largest number of spectators ever ahead of the 2024 KBO League.

KBO League players will distribute gifts to the home team spectators sitting in the exciting seats of each club from the 19th. The pouch produced by the Korea Professional Players Association is engraved with the words of the late Choi Dong-won's life interview, which showed his sincere love and sacrifice for his juniors, and contains a special sign ticket for the Korea Professional Players Association.

In addition, KBO League cards are also included in two packs through the production and sponsorship of distributor Daewon Media, which received the love and attention of many fans this season. Details of the gifts can be found on the official SNS account of the Korea Federation of Athletes' Association.

Chairman Kim Hyun-soo of the Korea Professional Baseball Association said, `I think there have been a lot of historical and meaningful records in the Korean professional baseball this season. KBO recorded the world's first ABS title, and our professional baseball players also set good records, including Kim Do-young's youngest 30-30, Choi Jung's record for most home runs in the league, Kang Min-ho's record for most games in the league, and Oh Seung-hwan's record for most saves in Asia in a single league. Lastly, it is more meaningful than anything else that our professional baseball fans are about to surpass 10 million spectators. On behalf of the players, I really thank the fans, and I promise that everyone will do their best for the rest of the regular league"I'm worried because we don't have many chances to give gifts when the remaining home games are just around the corner, but we'll do our best to give as many fans as possible." he said.

Meanwhile, the Korea Federation of Players will carry out its first low-salary and low-salary support project in memory of the late Choi Dong-won on the 14th, and will deliver subsidies to a total of 22 players who maintain their professional baseball status in the 2024 season among the players who joined the team without a down payment.
