As expected, former Cub, Marlin, and Dodger, Hee Seop Choi signed a contract with the KIA Tigers for 1.6 billion won, or about $1.3 million, according to a Reuters report.
Choi is expected to start playing for KIA in ten days. The Tigers are presently in last place in the 8-team Korean League.
Hee Seop Choi was involved in one of the most violent baseball plays I've ever seen when he was with the Cubs. Choi collided with Kerry Wood chasing an infield pop-up and when he fell back his head hit the ground so hard I thought his head split open. Choi was knocked unconscious by the ground. It sounded like a crack of a bat it was so hard. It made me sick to my stomach just watching on TV.
I was puzzled, since I went to one of the games at Dodger Stadium where Choi hit two home runs.
