Lee Man-soo
Lee Man-soo (, Hanja: 李萬洙; born September 9, 1958 in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, South Korea), also spelled as Man Soo Lee, is a former Korea Professional Baseball catcher and manager. After a distinguished career as a professional player in South Korea from 1982–1997, Lee moved on to coaching in 1998, including positions as a coaching staff for the Chicago White Sox, and came back to South Korea in 2006 to serve as a bench coach for the Wyverns.
==Playing career==
Upon graduation from Hanyang University in 1982, Lee made an agreement with the Korea Baseball Organization to play for one of the new pro league’s teams instead of remaining in the amateur league. Prior to the inaugural Korean professional baseball season, Lee was finally signed by the Samsung Lions. In the first game of the KBO pro league on March 27, 1982, Lee hit the first home run in Korean professional baseball history against the MBC Chungyong. Lee was a regular catcher of the Lions during the 1982 season and helped his team to reach to the inaugural Korean Series, where the Lions lost to the OB Bears, 4–1–1.
Lee, nicknamed “Hulk” and "Babe Ruth of Korea" for his power and home run ability, was a full-time catcher for 16 seasons with the Samsung Lions, hitting 252 home runs and knocking in 861 RBIs during his career. In 1983, he won hist first home run title and was named League MVP, and the next year became the league’s first triple crown winner as the leader in three major offensive categories ― home runs (23), runs batted in (80) and batting average (.340).
His Home Run and RBI totals also led the league in 1985. Gold Gloves came in 5 straight years, 1983–1987, and he appeared in 12 All-Star games. Lee's ultimate career home run total, 252, remained the record until Jang Jong-Hoon of the Hanwha Eagles hit his 253rd on May 23, 1999.
