Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. With a 2 meter left-handed fireballer starting pitcher. A place where a right-handed underhand finish of 1 meter 70 formed a combination. People who have been through that time say so. Thunder struck until the 8th, and from the 9th, an earthquake tore the plate open. But in 2012. A monster with both of them has landed in the major leagues.

Cy Young. An honor given to the great pitcher who dominated the season. There is a man who was the first Asian to win the award three times. Shin Kim. A man with the name 'Faith', who came from Korea. But there were only two things the pitcher who dominated the era lacked.

Damn-!

[iced coffee-! It's a home run, it's a home run! Yankees fall is over!]

[It's been over 20 years since the Yankees didn't win. I'm sorry.]

The championship ring and… … .

[As expected, it is the Yankees this season where Shin Kim's absence is greatly felt.]

[As the Yankees, if Shin Kim had played baseball a little earlier, I would think.] Time.

[That's what all baseball fans, not just the Yankees, would think. Even if I started at least in my late 20s... … .]

"shit… … ." Shin turned off the TV and closed his eyes. Professional career leading up to three Cy Young awards.

only 7 years.

It wasn't because he had a short heyday, or because he had an accident or was injured. It's just that he started playing baseball too late. It's already long past its heyday. It was clear that he had been prominent in his sport from an early age. He was so good that he had no match for his age.

However… … Shin Kim went to school in Korea. Besides, he was a student who studied as well as sports. His guardian, his friends, and his teachers all wanted Shin to become a doctor.

"If I had known my talent sooner… … ." As they wished, Shin Kim caught the sharp instead of the ball. Because even he thought it was natural to choose the one that already had a solid road rather than the unclear path of an athlete.

While studying, seeing patients, sometimes… … No, throwing the ball in the open space in front of his house almost every day as a hobby was all he had been pitching for twenty years. By the way, I traveled to the United States in my mid-thirties.

A tryout he participated in for fun changed his life.

-You must play baseball.

- How old are you?

-Oh, my God! Why didn't you play baseball?

-doctor? doctor?

You weren't like that, you were supposed to be Dr. K! The words of scouts who approached him after seeing his pitching woke up something that had been sleeping in his heart.

- It's not too late now. No, it's late, but you have to do it now. You will regret it for the rest of your life. He signed the contract as if possessed. The result was the first Asian Cy Young Award winner. It was also a glorious record that shined in the third episode. But Shin Kim was not satisfied. He couldn't stand the hunger. The belatedly burning longing burned her whole body, but there were days when she couldn't quench it.

"Baseball… … I should have done it."

A little earlier, when he was still young, when he was singing about his youthful body. If only I had started then. If only I had tried without fear. The 'Falled Empire' would not have fallen, and he would have been a great and great pitcher who will go down in the Hall of Fame, not just the once shiny pitcher.

"Whew… … . " Shin Kim sighed as she looked at the trophy and baseball on the wall.

* * * **************************************************************************

"Okay… … ." Kim Shin let out a moan and slowly lifted up his lying upper body. 'Did you drink too much?' After his retirement, the Yankees fell into the abyss without knowing the end, and the cause of this situation was that he drank liquor. Kim Shin slowly opened his eyes, grabbing his painful head with one hand.

"yes?"

But the scenery reflected in his eyes was not the spacious room in New York where he had lived for many years. Some sat at their desks, some with despair, some with determination, and some with tense faces. But most of them were wearing school uniforms. 'uniform… … ?' And before Shin Kim even realized this situation.

"Sit down!" As the door opened, an adult man in plain clothes with a thick beard entered and calmed his son-in-law.

"We are only half way there. Let's focus and finish well." "… … ." "Who said it, it's not over until it's over. Concentrate on the rest of the exam." However, Shin Kim did not receive any encouragement from the teacher who quoted the famous Yankees catcher Yogi Berra. Only the words on the blackboard behind his back caught my eye. '2010, college, math, ability, exam... … ?' The moment it enters his mind and has meaning. Druck-!

"student! what are you doing!" Shin Kim spurred his seat and ran. "student!" He couldn't feel the teacher's screams calling him in surprise, nor the eyes of the students who followed him as if puzzled. 'Is it a dream?' It wasn't. The wind that brushes your cheeks, the sound of words clearly in your ears, The feel of the soles of the feet on hard orthodontics. Everything was clamoring that this was not a dream. Numerous questions echoed in his head as to whether he was crazy or how this happened. But Shin Kim never slowed his steps out of the campus. 'What if it's a dream, what if it's not?' It was 2009. He's still young. Even if he throws 100 balls, a fresh youth that seems to be able to throw 100 balls again when he wakes up from sleep gushed out of his body. Once again given the chance. Teeth and claws that were worn out with old age sprouted new ones. 'I would rather have a dream that never wakes up.' Shin Kim crossed the playground with ocher-colored soil with such a longing.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Without holding back the laughter that rose from his lungs.

* * * ************************************************************************

New York Yankees. Also called the Great Yankees, or The Evil Empaire, the team that won the World Series like a meal. The most prestigious club in Major League Baseball that no one can deny. But that was only until 2009. For the next 30 years or so, the Yankees fell into an endless abyss. The man who struggled harder than anyone else in it.

"Whew… … Whoops... … ."

Shin Kim thought of the Yankees pride, the Great Hall, as he stepped on a hard sidewalk block. where his hanger was caught.

"Whew… … ." Of course he didn't have to be the Yankees in the first place. It was simply that the Yankees at that time offered the highest offer. But the intense years spent crying and laughing with the Yankees, the captain tapping his shoulder, the team members looking only at his back, Standing on a lonely mound, the shouts of fans poured out towards him. … … changed him 'For the Great Yankees.' Now it had to be the Yankees. Maybe his return to 2009, when the Yankees won their last championship, wasn't the aspiration of Yankees fans?

"haha."

A great hall filled with brilliant light. Kim Shin moved his legs, once again drawing his hanger to be hung there. And when the body tired of studying complains of fatigue from intense exercise.

"here… … I think it was."

Shin Kim stood in front of a building located on Gangnam-daero. Gangnam-daero was showing off my bustle as in 2034, but Shin Kim's eyes only looked at the signs of the building I was standing in. 8th, 7th and 6th floors. Kim Shin's gaze, who was slowly descending down the floor, stopped at one place. 'Kim Seongwook Orthopedic Surgery.' He hates the child who made her wife go to heaven, but the person who wrapped the child in her infinite love. When his son suddenly said that he wanted to become a baseball player, he was happy to live the life he wanted. A giant who grabbed his shoulder as he was wandering after his retirement and lifted him up again. 'father… … .' Kim Shin lifted his head and looked at the name, which had always been as strong as a steel tower. Then, with determination, he slapped me on the cheek. match-! The vivid pain sang that this was reality, and Shin Kim's eyes sank deeply. I don't know why this happened, and I don't know how long this miracle will last. Everything is chaotic. But Shin-eun Kim, the beast howling in unquenchable thirst… … . He knew what he was going to do.

"I play baseball. "

He had to play baseball as quickly as possible. And to do that, he had to get over a man like a pylon. The situation was different from his previous life. He didn't have an agent to prove his talent, he was at an age when he thought he couldn't decide his own path, and he had actually accomplished nothing. The only thing he has is a report card full of '1' numbers. But the path he wants to walk from now on is a path that has nothing to do with it at all. But he had to nevertheless. Because it was hard to bear even a minute or a second.

"Whew… … ."

Kim Shin took a deep breath and stepped into the dark building. Time is relative. A day for an examinee before an exam is like a flash, and a day for a soldier who is devoted to training to overcome himself is like an eternity. And it was the same for Shin Kim. Shortly after entering the battlefield, Shin Kim was seated inside a familiar hospital.

"God? Why are you here... … ."

A lazy afternoon just after lunch. The nurse sitting at the counter could not hide her surprise at the sudden appearance of the director's son-in-law. what day is today A day when everyone in Korea is holding their breath. A day when no one can disturb the students. It is the day of the University Scholastic Ability Test. However, I was surprised that a person who should have been taking the exam appeared in the hospital. However, Shin Kim still bowed his head to her as if nothing was wrong, as if it was nothing to her.

"Hello, sister. What about father?"

"He's inside… … ." "thank you."

Receiving the nurse's gaze full of doubts behind her back, Shin Kim opened the door to the director's office. My father was there. A father from twenty years ago, much younger than he knew.

"Father, I'm here."

"… … ?"

Kim Seong-wook could not help but look at the clock and his son alternately, unable to contain his embarrassment at the sight of his son who had come to visit him. It is definitely a time when you should be focusing on the entrance exam. How could my son be here? 'no way?' An absurd assumption flashed through Seongwook's mind. The assumption is that the son gave up the entrance exam. But why? It was just yesterday that he was determined to become a doctor after his father. Why? Did anything happen? The moment his father's brow frowned, and his mouth was about to open. The son's voice first echoed through the room.

"I want to play baseball. Surely."

There was a longing that he had never seen before on his son's face as he spoke word by word. A passion that was not even comparable to yesterday's resolution, even to the point of desperation. A spark like that, as if it would burn up everything it could see.

"… … Please explain slowly."

It was the day when the superhuman who would rule the era was born. I want to play baseball. Surely." There was a longing that he had never seen before on his son's face as he spoke word by word. A passion that was not even comparable to yesterday's resolution, even to the point of desperation. A spark like that, as if it would burn up everything it could see.
