The Hanwha Eagles’ Song Jin-woo tossed a Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) no-hitter, 20 years ago today.
On Thursday, May 18, 2000, at Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium, Song no-hit the Haitai Tigers for a 6-0 win.
The southpaw was the first KBO pitcher to strikeout more than 2,000 batters. Song spent his entire 21-season career with the Eagles, posting a 210-153 record with a 3.51 ERA between 1989 and 2009. The Eagles retired his No. 21.

I saw this headline and imagined a guy named something like Hotel California pitching a no-hitter against Detroit.
