DAEGU — The Lotte Giants announced a former championship-winning skipper as their new manager Monday. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) club said Lee Dong-wook will take the reins on a three-year contract worth 2 billion won ($1.5 million). The 52-year-old received a signing bonus of 500 million won and will make 500 million won each year in annual salary. Born and raised in the Giants' home city of Busan, some 330 kilometers southeast of Seoul, Lee spent his entire six-year playing career with the Giants from 1997 to 2003. After coaching stints with the LG Twins and the NC Dinos, Lee was named the Dinos' manager in 2019. He then led the Dinos to their first and so far only Korean Series title in 2020. During his championship season, Lee was lauded for his use of advanced data and communication skills. Lee was let go by the Dinos during the 2022 season and has since served on the coaching staff for the national team. The Giants finished in seventh place in the 10-team KBO in each of the past three seasons under manager Kim Tae-hyoung, who was not brought back after his three-year de

DAEGU — Two years ago Monday, Kia Tigers catcher Kim Tae-gun enjoyed the best postseason game of his Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) career. He slugged a grand slam to help his team defeat the Samsung Lions 9-2 in Game 4 of the Korean Series at Daegu Samsung Lions Park in the southeastern city of Daegu. The victory moved the Tigers within a win of their 12th title, and they went on to take the series in Game 5 two days later. Exactly two years after the memorable homer — Kim's first dinger in a postseason game -- the veteran catcher is back in Daegu, this time to start the second round of the postseason against the Lions. The first game had been scheduled for Sunday but it was rained out. And Sunday was the two-year anniversary of a not-so-memorable game for Kim. On Oct. 25, 2024, Kim struck out three times in Game 3 of the Korean Series. Moments after Sunday's game was canceled, Kim said he was glad not to have played that day. "I remember exactly what happened two years ago. On Oct. 26, I hit a grand slam right here. But on Oct. 25, I struck out three times," Kim said with a smile

AUSTIN, Texas — Kimi Antonelli stormed to his ninth win of the season on Sunday at the United States Grand Prix and further tightened his grip on a Formula 1 season championship that he could win at the next race in Mexico City. The Mercedes driver started from pole position at the Circuit of the Americas with an outside chance of winning the season championship outright. A victory combined with poor results from his closest rivals would have done it. But Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and Mercedes' George Russell, who is a distant second in the standings, finished eighth to barely keep the title chase alive, sending it to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez at the Mexico City Grand Prix. “It was a result we needed, the whole team deserve it so much,” Antonelli said. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished second, more than 14 seconds behind Antonelli. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was third. The 20-year-old Antonelli is on the brink of becoming F1’s youngest champion in series history, and the first Italian to win the title since Alberto Ascari in 1953. He made easy work of Sunday's
