멍투성이 몸으로 만든 500홈런… 최정이 진짜 무서운 이유

Looking solely at the number "500 home runs," it seems like a monumental record, but Choi Jeong was a player whose journey was even more incredible than the number itself. He is a player who has guarded the same team, the same position, and the same uniform for over 20 years, and who, despite being hit by pitches every season, still walks right into the batter's box. 363 hit-by-pitches, countless bruised bodies, and endless bulk-up training. In fact, from the start, Choi Jeong was less of a finished star and more of a player who constantly transformed himself through relentless effort. He was a young third baseman who was criticized for his defensive instability, but he eventually became one of the best in the KBO. Evolving from a fast, powerful hitter into the league's top slugger, he rewrote the history of Korean baseball. From the days he was called a "boy powerhouse" to the center of the Wyverns dynasty, to the record-breaking 468 home runs, and finally to the first player in KBO history to hit 500 home runs. The more I watch him, the more I realize why Choi Jeong isn't just a simple home run hitter, but is called the symbol of the Landers and the "ultimate king of consistency." He is a player who feels more and more amazing the more I see him ⚾🔥 It really gives me goosebumps that even now at 40, he still looks like the most fearsome hitter.
