Hanwha's Kim Tae-kyun had this to say about Lotte's Shane Youman. "The toughest pitcher is Youman because his face is so dark and his teeth are so
white when he (Youman) smiles, the white baseball and his teeth kinda
overlap, which makes it hard to focus on the ball." Hanwha and Kim have both publicly apologized for these remarks.
