I'm in Seoul at the moment and made it to my first KBO game today… saw a guy only a few rows in front of us wearing the 2024 Jackie Robinson day giveaway shirt.
Instantly recognized it because I was at that game, and have the shirt in my closet somewhere. Went back to look and attendance that day was only 5500. What are the odds two of us end up in the same section at a KBO game and he's actually wearing the shirt????
Went up to talk to him and disappointingly he's not from Oakland, but rather a Sox fan that just happened to be at the coliseum that day.
Thought I'd share as it made me smile and brought back good memories of the final year we had at the Coli. Sometimes it really is a small world we live in 😄

Small serendipitous world we inhabit.
Is this Jamsil Stadium? I was there in 2018 for a Doosan Bears game.
Sitting behind me was a Korean guy wearing a fitted A’s cap. I had my A’s cap on as well. I tried asking him if he was from Oakland or if he was an A’s fan. He didn’t know much English and had no idea what I was talking about.
