KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Hyun Soo Kim felt good about being recognized so far away from home.

''It was very comfortable. Everything was OK,'' the Baltimore Orioles left fielder said through an interpreter after going 0 for 3 Tuesday in his team's exhibition opener, a 4-4, 10-inning tie against the Atlanta Braves.

''I wan't expecting to see a lot of fans that were here to see me performing,'' he said. ''It was a pleasant surprise.''

The 28-year-old Kim left South Korean baseball in December, agreeing to a $7 million, two-year contract with the Orioles.
