There's a video you can find on the internet showing Eric Thames wearing a crown made of flowers, just after he was named Most Valuable Player last year in South Korea.
Good luck finding anything like that from Kris Bryant or Mike Trout.
It's a nice ceremony and a nice award, but it's also a pleasant reminder of how different professional baseball is in South Korea, where the NC Dinos play in a ballpark with a center field fence just 381 feet from home plate and where the pitchers rarely throw upper-90s fastballs.
Baseball in South Korea is different, which is why it's so tough to know what to make of Thames' new three-year, $16 million contract to be the Milwaukee Brewers' first baseman.
