During the game, I kept thinking about how cool this must all be for his family.
Kwang Hyun Kim, the Korean Cardinal, pitched Saturday in front of his family for the first time in St. Louis. His mother made the trip, along with his wife, two children and his mother-in-law. And it was a simply resplendent summer evening. Game time temperature at 84. And the humidity, overworked in recent days, took the night off. The crowd was just great. Forty-thousand-plus. If there were any Ric Flair woos, I didn’t even hear them. Just a nice night at the ballpark, and Kim pitched masterfully, the southpaw’s slider his masterstroke.
