The San Diego squad arrived at Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 at 1:30 a.m. on the 15th.
Arriving early in the morning, the San Diego team immediately went to their lodging facilities to release their dirty laundry. In the afternoon, several players were seen wandering around Seoul for sightseeing. Fernando Tatis Jr., one of the superstars of the San Diego Padres, visited Gwangjang Market and Gyeongbok Palace to eat hotteok and dumpling soup.
On the other hand, Darvish, who is known to be a close friend of his, was rather quiet. There was a reason. On the day, he visited a store of a fan who had been rooting for him for a long time and greeted him.
The fan, who visited Darvish in person on the day, is known to have received a glove from Darvish in the past. When Darvish tried not to use the glove because it didn’t fit him, the fan asked Darvish for the glove, and Darvish delivered the glove along with his uniform to the fan. Darvish also visited the fan’s shop on the day and presented him with unforgettable memories.
Meanwhile, San Diego will play its full-fledged Korean schedule through youth baseball clinics held at Yongsan Children’s Park and Gocheok Sky Dome on the 16th. On the 17th and 18th, they will face Team Korea and the LG Twins, respectively, and will play the opening game of the Seoul Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 20th. Darvish will take the mound as the starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres’ opening game on the 20th.
