Shin-Soo Choo of the Cincinnati Reds became the first Korean player in history to hit a home run in the Major League Baseball postseason, but it wasn’t nearly enough to extend his first-ever trip to the playoffs.

The left-handed Choo, 31, hit the historic home run in the 8th inning of Tuesday night’s game in Pittsburgh’s PNC Park, against left-hander reliever Tony Watson. But, the score was 6-1 in favor of the Pirates at the time, and his postseason ended after just one game. The Reds fell 6-2, as the Pirates celebrated their first postseason win in 21 years.

Choo also became the first Korean to start, strikeout, and record a R.B.I. (Run Batted In) during MLB postseason play in this game. Entering the game, only Byung-Hyun Kim and Hee-Seop Choi had batted, once each, in the playoffs.

Hyun-Jin Ryu, scheduled to start Game 3 for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, will be the 5th Korean to play during the MLB postseason.

    Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?

    I’m planning to startt my own blog in the near future
    but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and
    I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had
    to ask!.
