A Question from South Korea

PrintHi, I'm a Rangers fan from South Korea.
Go Rangers. Beat L.A.. And Praise JD & Ryan.
If you believe or not, there are some Rangers fans in my country. Baseball is one of the most famous sports in South Korea. We love our league and also enjoy watching Major League Baseball.
I and my friends can watch MLB games through the internet. By MLB.TV, we can see J. Hamilton's homer, M. Young's clutch, and N. Feliz's explosive. All about Rangers things can be our interest.
I got a question in this season. In 2010 season, hitters begin to hold their right hand up high when they get on the first base. Last moring (Oh, it's usually moring in Korea Republic when the Rangers game is on) Mitch 'the luckiest guy in that night' Moreland hit a single in his first big league debut at bat, he reached at first base, and (I remember) David 'The Clutch' Murphy and Josh 'Hambomb' Hamilton showed their right hand high to make Moreland raise his right hand.
What does that mean? Is that a kind of ceremony or ritual within players ?
People, who are too far from there, have no way to figure out that.

Watch this
interview with Tommy Hunter. It’s just a fun thing they do to celebrate a hit or something.

Thanks
It’s another fun thing for Tommy.
Tommy ‘Big time’ Hunter is known for ‘still like a high school boy’ here. :)

That was one of the more enjoyable interviews I've watched.
Thanks

큰 안타와 속도를 깜박임에 대한 사슴뿔에 대해 …. 팀 내에서 camaradarie에 그냥 작은 것들 …. ESPN은 오늘 아침에 세그먼트를했다 …. 그들은 그냥 .. 재미 있습니다 종류의 팀 내에서 내부 농담처럼

Googles translator is terrible.

I just felt
Rangers gonna be winning team again.
Players make their team win and try to do. So, they start giving special meaing on something for wining the game.
The True Leader, Michael Young.
lol

haha, yea, this guy is pretty cool, he can stay
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
heck, he even follows ranger prospects from Korea, voted a bunch of times in the CPPs

What do you think about Chan Ho Park?
also, Lee Bum-Ho was my favorite Korean in the World Baseball Classic.
Go Rice Owls!
I was within a foot of catching a foul ball off the bat of Lee Bum-Ho
It got me on national TV that night. Not catching that ball is my greatest regret.
So
what do you think of Chan Ho Park?

BTW
you will have to bring a lot more goodwill here before we forgive your people for Chan Ho Park.
We once kept him in the game to warm up the start of the 7th inning, and then pulled him so the crowd could give him a standing ovation – for a 6 inning performance!
This post is awesome!
Keep on visiting LSB, friend :)

I think he and I have a lot in common...
….and probably all of us, for who among us doesn’t like N. Feliz’s explosive?!
Khanone...
you are my favorite new poster on LSB. I hope you come back, because you’re awesome.
