Landers invite ex-All-Star slugger Romak for pregame ceremony

The SSG Landers have announced that former All-Star slugger Jamie Romak will be invited for a pregame ceremony next week. Romak, the longest-serving foreign hitter in the franchise's history, will bring his family for his first trip to the club's home city of Incheon since his retirement in 2021. He will sign autographs for fans at Incheon SSG Landers Field and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Romak played for the Incheon-based club from 2017 to 2021, during which he launched 155 home runs and drove in 409 runs in 626 games, making it the most by a foreign hitter in Wyverns/Landers history and the fourth-highest total by a foreign player ever in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO).
