The SSG Landers have announced that former All-Star slugger Jamie Romak will be invited for a pregame ceremony next week. Romak, who played for the Korean club from 2017 to 2021, will bring his family to Incheon, the team's home city, for the ceremony. The former Canadian player, who holds the record for most home runs by a foreign hitter in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), will sign autographs for fans at Incheon SSG Landers Field and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Romak, who played for the team under different ownership during his tenure, helped the Landers secure the 2018 Korean Series title and finished second in the regular season with 43 home runs. He also received the 2020 Tip O'Neill Award as the top Canadian baseball player of the year.
