First, a new market inefficiency? Not sure how this would work towards the amateur signing pool, has Bud even thought about this possibility?

Second, as a fan and past attendee of Doosan games, I’m quite disappointed they sold their logo to this movie.

Go Gorillas?

The gorilla is part side-show, part hulking homerun hitter. They are also whipped by Asian women.
