Back when Spring Training started, many wondered whether or not the acquisition of Korean slugger Dae-ho Lee would amount to anything. Some thought he wouldn’t even make it out of camp. Before the season started, SoDo Mojo did a round table on which new acquisition we were most excited about. My vote was Dae-ho Lee.
This is more than him sharing my last name. He is an icon in Japan and Korea. He slugged 323 home runs in his 15 professional seasons overseas. It was no secret that the dude could mash.
