Our Game: LG Twins

January 2025 •Korean

The LG Twins, a professional baseball team based in Seoul, has the largest fan base in Korea's sports history but is also considered an unfortunate team that has not raised a championship trophy for the last 28 years. The jewelry watch prize and the famous Japanese Awamori Soju (a premium alcohol beverage made from rice) that the GM from the 1994 winning team has vowed to present and open have become a legacy that no one has yet witnessed. There's even a painful nickname for LG Twins, "a team destined to fail." However, for the 2022 season, two people from the 1994 winning team have stepped up to change the situation. The pitcher turned GM and the shortstop turned coach are the only people who remember the taste of victory 28 years ago.

Ball Four

January 2025 •English

Ball Four is a 1976 American situation comedy that aired on CBS in 1976. The series is inspired by the 1970 book of the same name by Jim Bouton. Bouton co-created the show with humorist and television critic Marvin Kitman and sportswriter Vic Ziegel. Bouton also starred in the series. Ball Four followed the Washington Americans, a fictitious minor league baseball team, dealing with the fallout from a series of Sports Illustrated articles written by Americans player Jim Barton. Like the book, the series covered controversial subjects including womanizing players, drug use, homosexuality in sports and religion. The series included a gay rookie ballplayer, one of the earliest regular gay characters on television. The trio began developing the series in 1975, looking to other series like M*A*S*H and All in the Family as models. CBS expressed interest and the creative team developed a script. CBS shot the pilot episode and ultimately bought the series. Ball Four aired at 8:30 PM Eastern time, which was during the Family Viewing Hour, an FCC-mandated hour of early evening "family-friendly" broadcasting. Consequently the writers had some trouble with the network's Standards and Practices in their attempt to portray realistic locker room scenes, especially the language used by the players. Pseudo-profanity such as "bullpimp" was disallowed, while "horse-crock" and "bullhorse" were approved.
