Celebrities are often invited to participate in ceremonial first pitches at baseball games, but South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo made a lasting impression during her recent appearance at a Los Angeles Dodgers exhibition game in South Korea.
Jong-seo, known for her roles in popular dramas and films such as Burning and Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area, donned a Dodgers jersey and baseball attire as she took the mound at the Gocheok Sky Dome to deliver the first pitch.
As the camera panned to the players in the dugout, they were seen giggling and seemingly in awe of Jong-seo's presence. The 29-year-old actress threw the ball with finesse, posed with a player on the field, and waved to the cheering crowd, leaving a lasting impression on the Dodgers team.
Despite the Dodgers' eventual 14-3 victory in the game, it was Jong-seo who garnered much of the attention and discussion post-match, overshadowing the scoreline.
While celebrity appearances in baseball are not uncommon, Jong-seo's pitch stood out for its charm and impact on both the players and the audience.
In a separate but equally intriguing baseball crush story, fans have long expressed admiration for Mrs. Met, one half of the New York Mets' beloved mascot duo. Despite being a fictional character, Mrs. Met has received numerous marriage proposals and adoration from fans, showcasing the unique connections that fans can form with sports mascots.
These instances highlight the diverse and captivating interactions that can occur in the world of sports, where celebrities and mascots alike can capture the hearts and imaginations of fans around the globe.
