After I became a starter, it was the first game I ever lost. I was so mortified, so angry, that I didn’t go to baseball practice for one week. But the coach came to find me at home. To accept it, to accept it…’Right now, you can’t do anything. So accept it, and it’s enough if you win at the next game.’ After one year, same team, to the same player, I struck him out and won. The one I had lost to the year before. With this ball. I threw the same and won. This ball…I give it into your care. And I don’t know when it might be, but definitely, I’ll come back to get it. -Chilbong
