김하성(28·샌디에이고 파드리스)이 미국프로야구 메이저리그(MLB) 포지션별 최고 선수에게 주는 골드글러브를 수상했다. 역대 한국인 선수로는 최초의 기록이다.


MLB 사무국과 골드글러브 주관 업체 롤링스가 6일(한국시간) 발표한 골드 글러브 수상자 명단에서 김하성은 유틸리티 부문에서 당당히 이름을 올렸다. 골드글러브는 MLB에서 한 해 동안 포지션별 최고 수비수에게 주어지는 상이다.


김하성은 먼저 발표된 내셔널리그 2루수 부문에서는 수상에 실패했지만, 맨 마지막에 발표된 유틸리티 부문에서 무키 베츠(LA다저스), 토니 에드먼(세인트루이스)를 제치고 수상자로 선정됐다.


김하성은 올 시즌 주 포지션인 2루는 물론 3루, 유격수 등 1루를 제외한 전 내야 포지션에서 견고한 수비를 뽐냈다.


한편, 김하성의 골드글러브 수상은 아시아 출신으로는 시애틀 매리너스 스즈키 이치로(일본)에 이어 두 번째다. 이치로는 2001~2010년까지 10년 연속 아메리칸리그(AL) 외야수 부문 골드 글러브를 차지했다.

Japan Meteorological Agency lists Dokdo as Japanese territory on weather map for Typhoon No. 7 Lan

▲일본 기상청에 표기된 독도. 사진제공=서경덕 교수 The Japan Meteorological Agency has sparked controversy for labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory on a weather map of Typhoon No. 7. On the 16th, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, sent a protest email to the Japan Meteorological Agency through social networking services (SNS), demanding that the agency correct its mistake of labeling Dokdo as Japanese land. "The Japan Meteorological Agency has always labeled Dokdo as '竹島' (Takeshima), and we have been protesting against this for three years. The biggest problem is that many Japanese netizens visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website during typhoon and tsunami warnings, which can create a false perception of Dokdo," he said. "In this protest email, we said, 'This is a clear territorial provocation. Dokdo is an undisputed territory of the Republic of Korea under historical, geographical, and international law." Professor Seo said that not o...

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Friday that it had received a request from the MLB office to check the identities of Lee Jeong-hoo and Ko Woo-seok the day before, and that the players were informed today that they belong to Kiwoom and LG, respectively. A background check request from the MLB office is the first step for an MLB club to sign a player. The two players have played at least seven regular seasons, ending this season, and are eligible to move to overseas leagues through the posting system with the consent of their clubs. Lee previously announced his intention to play in the major leagues after this season. His team, Kiwoom, accepted. The local media is also showing high interest in their signing. On the 10th, ESPN, an American sports channel, ranked L...

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

   Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
