Today (23rd) is Baseball Day, celebrating 11 years ago. Kim Kyung-moon, who grabbed the national team's baton in 11 years, met with his fans and vowed to relive the day's inspiration at Premier 12 in November.

On August 23, 2008, the victory at the Beijing Olympics, which will remain the most brilliant achievement for Korean baseball history, feels like yesterday for Kim.

[Kim, Kyung-Moon / Baseball National Team Manager: I didn't come out before, but I watched some relays at home. When I came out here, many fans came to me and I thought a lot.]

Inspired by his eleven years ago, Kim met his fans with star players, who will be the main players of the Premier 12 team.

KIA Yang Hyun-jong and SK Kim Kwang-hyun, both of whom sat next to each other, showed a special belief.

[Kim, Kyung-Moon / Baseball National Team Manager: I'm throwing so well, so strong.]

We also started a detailed power analysis of the opposing teams.

[Kim, Kyung-Moon / Baseball National Team Manager: A surprisingly good pitcher stood out in Canada. Cuba felt a little less ready than I thought.]

We have also prepared for the victory that was more important than ever.

[Kim Kyeong-Moon / Baseball National Team Manager: It's really a burden for the coach but we're going to join our players so we can win if we get a match one day.]

Kim plans to narrow the list to 60 on the 3rd of next month and announce 28 final entries on 3 October.
