Professor Maher, who first came to Korea as a professor at Youngsan University in Busan in 2008, fell in love with Lotte after going to a baseball field with students.



After he retired two years ago, he was hired as an employee of the Lotte Club and has been engaged in various activities, but he passed away yesterday due to complications from Corona 19.



Lotte uniforms were hung at the mortuary near Sajik Stadium, and Lotte fans continued to visit.



[Jung Geun-woo/Lotte fan: Not long ago, you went on an expedition together, and it was a pity that he suddenly went so vainly, and he was an extraordinary grandfather to me.]



The table seats at Sajik Stadium, where the deceased enjoyed sitting, were placed in harmony with the spirit and harmony with the Lotte players. All spectators prayed for the deceased in silence before the match.



Lotte, currently in 6th place, is doing its best to bring back the hope of autumn baseball that the deceased longed for.



Ace Barnes gave Doosan four points in the first inning only, but at the end of the first inning, Lee Dae-ho's triple RBI double and Doosan's second baseman Kang Seung-ho's error, etc. were tied together and 6 points were turned around.
