Hustle Doo!

We hit the Doosan Bears vs the Samsung Lions game last night. When you go to the ticket booth, you are asked which teams section would you like to sit in. Since it was a Doosan Bears home game, we are now officially Doosan Bears fans. The title of the post is the Bears battle cry, that I think Dave may incorporate into daily use. Dave bought a very cool Doosan Bears hat before the game, that has the SoKo flag on the side and a number on the back. There were a few numbers to choose from but we decided on "14," basically because that's Paul Konerko's number. As they were doing the opening lineups we paid attention to see whose number we bought. And wouldn't you know...it's Young Min Ko! Every time the players come up to bat the fans bang their 'thunder sticks' and chant the players name. So we had our sticks and cheered "Go Young Min!" with the crowd.

*I wrote this part of the post this morning at 5am and was going to include the rest of today's activities with it...but I'm just too darn tired. I'll post about today's activities when I wake up, which will be this afternoon for you guys.

That is one sweet hat, Davers! And about the player 14 also named Young Min - not just a coincidence! Sounds like you guys had fun at the game.
