Description
Book Introduction
“Even if I die and wake up, even if I grow old, If you don't keep growing, there's no room for you. “The gaze is always forward, toward the future.” Essay by 82-year-old active director Kim Seong-geun Kim Seong-geun, the longest-serving baseball manager in Korea and often referred to as the "God of Baseball," has compiled his 60-year baseball career into a single book. It covers the entire third act of his life, from his days as a player, when he was born extremely poor and had to practice pitching by throwing rocks because he didn't even have a ball, to his days as a manager, when he always took charge of a weak team and struggled only for victory, to his current life as the manager of the "Strongest Monsters" on the JTBC entertainment program "Strongest Baseball" after taking a step back from the professional ranks and dedicating himself to the development of baseball and player development. As a Zainichi Korean who is mocked even by his country as a ‘sidekick’, as a ‘useless pitcher’ whose prime was over quickly due to his broken body, as the leader of a weak team that keeps finishing last… The director, who recalls living a life on the edge without ever being in the spotlight for a single moment, says that in his younger days, he only felt the desperation to “survive.” In Korea, where I was alone and alone, the only thing I could rely on was baseball, so I had no other purpose in life than to win at baseball. However, as he grits his teeth and runs with his students on the field despite the harsh fungo, and cries and laughs with them during matches, a new awareness begins to emerge in Kim Seong-geun. I developed a true leader's consciousness that 'I must develop players.' Even now, over 80 years old, Kim Seong-geun goes to the baseball stadium every morning, pitches the ball himself, helps troubled players, and stays up all night reading various baseball books. His family and friends try to dissuade him from suffering so much at his age, but he doesn't care. For Kim Seong-geun, the time he spends contemplating baseball is an exciting time, as he can imagine his student's hopeful future, wondering, "If I fix it like this, will it be different?" and "If I use that method, will things get better?" Ultimately, what Kim Seong-geun wants to say through this book is that even if you experience countless failures and trial and error, if you keep challenging yourself, a new path will eventually open up. His life and the students he taught proved it. That we must live every moment, not just once, with such urgency. So life is a moment. |

Entering
Chapter 1.
Consciousness to overcome
“Do your best, even if you die tomorrow.”
There is no next ball
If you just want to be comfortable, you're as good as dead.
Live boldly and briefly
Why do you even think about retiring at 40?
Try, try, try first
Don't run away to the comfort of others.
A foul is not a failure
Chapter 2.
I am a pessimistic optimist
From 'It can't be done anyway' to 'Maybe,' and from 'Maybe' to 'Definitely.'
He who criticizes what does not exist is weak.
Assume the worst and prepare for the best
Switch from negative to positive!
A leader is someone who never gives up hope until the very end.
Chapter 3.
pioneer spirit
"My life has been about turning the unconventional into the common."
As we age, we must ask ourselves questions.
Will you become a person ruled by the body?
Satisfaction never lasts.
Survival is common sense
There's a way to win even with just a dime in your pocket.
Chapter 4.
Living with your name on the line
“Everyone is a professional when they get paid.”
What I wanted to show the world through the strongest baseball
My favorite nickname, dragonfly eyes
Baseball and life are both a game of 1cm and 3cm.
Fungo? Fun go!
Find a basis even in moments of failure
A heart that runs for four hours in the rain
Things left behind by the turtle
I have countless ideas in my drawer.
Chapter 5.
Affection in ruthlessness
“Leaders are parents.”
The ruthless affection I learned from my mother
Live in the water bottle called 'me'
Parents do not abandon their children.
There is no life more miserable than one that lives only for oneself.
A place where you can't have a drink together
A true leader doesn't ask for respect.
A director shouldn't become a grandfather.
Chapter 6.
Self-identity
“Play within the team, not within yourself.”
Teamwork comes first, even for Lee Dae-ho, Yang Jun-hyeok, and Choi Jeong-bo.
There is no age limit for the right person for the right job.
We don't need a jack-of-all-trades on our team.
What the Pacific Learned from Odaesan Training
Waiting is not as easy as you think.
The more you are a leader, the more you should study hard.
If your goal is to reach the semifinals, it's natural to be weak.

Into the book
Even now, when I stand on the playground, I keep asking myself this question.
Why didn't you say this during the game? Why didn't you change the players? Why didn't you teach them that sooner? I've asked myself these questions my entire life, and I've found the answers within myself.
If you want to leave something behind when you die, you have to live your life like that.
---From "Entering"
Opportunity comes three times in life.
It's just that each person's ability to hold onto it is different.
Some people miss the opportunity when it comes once or twice, and only grab it the third time, while others don't even realize the opportunity has come and just let it pass them by.
The difference comes from ‘preparation’.
A prepared person can seize opportunity when it comes, and a person who seizes opportunity is a person who is fully prepared.
---From "Consciousness to Overcome"
The idea you came up with may actually be the wrong choice.
But then what?
If you get it wrong, it's actually good because you can discover other problems and get hints.
Because when you solve a problem, a path opens up.
If you try once and fail, think about it again, come up with another idea, and try again.
That's trial and error.
Trial and error cannot exist without thought and ideas.
In other words, behind trial and error, there are countless repeated worries, thoughts, and challenges.
So, isn't a life full of trial and error the best life?
---From "Consciousness to Overcome"
People who are born positive become flustered when negative situations arise.
When something that wasn't initially conceived in one's mind appears, one is at a loss as to how to solve the problem, acts like a fool, and nine times out of ten, everything falls apart there.
However, people who think negatively from the beginning and imagine all kinds of situations in advance are not at all flustered when a negative situation arises.
That's why my expression doesn't change whether the other person hits or not.
Even when a crisis comes, I just think, it just came.
Instead of panicking at that moment, try to find a way.
---From "I am a pessimistic optimist"
The moment the word 'yet' suddenly came to mind, my heart felt lighter.
Until then, I was constantly worried, thinking, 'I've already lost twice, what should I do?', but when I changed to 'I still have a chance,' my consciousness completely changed.
The Korean Series is a best-of-seven series, so even if we lost one more game, we still had a chance.
Thinking like that, my mind instantly felt at ease.
Thanks to that determination, I was able to win the next match and take the championship.
I think the 'not yet' mindset contributed greatly to this victory.
If I had stuck to the idea of 'already' until the end, I probably wouldn't have won that year.
As I live, I realize that such things are important in life.
I mean, throwing it away.
Letting go of preconceptions, letting go of common sense, letting go of the past.
---From "I am a pessimistic optimist"
If I had the same ideas and processes as everyone else, the world would have no reason to hire me.
You have to have self-worth to be given work.
Of course, there are many risks in taking a path you have never taken before.
It is extremely dangerous and, in extreme cases, can even lead to death.
However, if you have just four things: the idea to challenge, the action to challenge, the strength to continue challenging, and the passion to challenge, you can live your life finding your own path until you die.
---From "Pioneer Spirit"
The Strongest Baseball League will be abolished if a team fails to achieve a .700 winning percentage.
It's a lofty goal.
It is a high ground that is never easy to achieve.
Still, I wanted to prove to people that I could achieve that goal.
I wanted to show that I could do it at my age, that no matter how old I am, whether I'm 60 or 70, I can achieve any goal if I just put in the effort.
---From "Pioneer Spirit"
People who walk steadily like a turtle do not give up even if it is difficult at first, but learn the process, crawl, and eventually find their way.
No matter what happens, he doesn't give up, and instead of trying to avoid it with a bit of wit, he feels the pain by throwing himself into it with his whole body.
Life should be lived like that.
Feeling pain is a way to find a new path, a way to go on the path you are meant to take.
Even when there are obstacles or problems on the road, the turtles will look like fools to the rabbits who just jump over them.
They will laugh at you and say, 'Why are you worrying so much about skipping over something when you can just go back?'
But that's how fools get promoted.
---From "Living with Your Name on the Line"
When water comes out of the bottle, it just scatters away.
Everyone just has to find a way to live within their own water bottle.
Whether it's an emergency or not, it's my job to keep the water in that bottle alive.
If you look at the successful people in the world, there is no one among them who compromises and conforms to what the world wants.
Everyone has something they call their own color.
And there should be no compromise for that purpose.
If you keep breaking your own will, when it comes time to leave, all you will be left with is regret.
---From "Affection in Cruelty"
Money makes you happy. Can a family without money be happy? A company must make money for employees to receive bonuses and raises.
Money doesn't come to those who lose.
So, a leader must be willing to risk his life to achieve results.
But there is no time to think about things like fun or respect.
---From "Affection in Cruelty"
In the first place, you can't call it a generational change just because you forcibly put in a younger person.
It's easy to think of it as pouring water into a cup.
If you keep pouring water into a cup, at some point the water that was originally in it will naturally flow out.
This is generational change.
It's not about emptying all the water in the cup and adding new water.
It may seem similar at first glance, but I can say with certainty that no one has ever succeeded in doing so.
Everything must be within the principles of nature.
In the world, there is something new in the old, and something old in the new.
Why didn't you say this during the game? Why didn't you change the players? Why didn't you teach them that sooner? I've asked myself these questions my entire life, and I've found the answers within myself.
If you want to leave something behind when you die, you have to live your life like that.

Publisher's Review
“Even if the road is full of rocks and weeds,
“I have to walk my own path.”
Fighting with extraordinary force, and ultimately changing the world
Coach Noh's 60-year baseball career!
Although he has won three championships and has a total of 1,384 wins, ranking him second among Korean baseball managers in wins, Kim Seong-geun recalls his past as a life of "fighting against the odds."
Standing alone on stage with no money, no connections, and nothing else, the young man had no choice but to prove his existence through 'baseball' alone.
He had to win to survive, and he always found unconventional ideas to overcome problems even in the harsh conditions that were like the edge of a cliff.
Teams without outstanding pitchers played swarm baseball, using as many pitchers as possible to block the game, and teams that were often losing by just one point used bunt tactics to squeeze out points.
Although he received a lot of criticism along the way, he silently continued his path, and eventually, Kim Seong-geun's nonsense became common sense.
So Kim Seong-geun says:
That you have to go down a path that has not yet been taken, that if you want to achieve something, you have to make an unconventional move.
“There are many risks in a road that has never been taken before.
It is extremely dangerous and, in extreme cases, can even lead to death.
However, if you have just four things: the idea to challenge, the action to challenge, the strength to continue challenging, and the passion to challenge, you can live your life finding your own path until you die.
In any situation, you have to make an unconventional move to survive.
And if you survive, the absurd will soon become common sense.
“I’ve lived that way all my life.”
- From the text
So, Kim Seong-geun still goes for a walk every morning without fail.
I walk with only 'baseball' in my mind, thinking about how to teach the players I'll meet today and how to solve the problems that arose in yesterday's game.
Leading an 80-year-old man to a baseball field and training him without any worries is also the nonsense that keeps Kim Seong-geun alive right now.
“A true leader is
“I don’t expect respect.”
Hidden behind strict and harsh training
A leader's true heart, a father's sincerity
The label that always followed the name ‘Kim Seong-geun’ was ‘overwork.’
Kim Seong-geun was heavily criticized throughout his coaching career for making his players practice too much and for being so focused on winning that he didn't think about their future.
Although he was praised enough to be called the God of Baseball, ironically, he was also the most criticized manager in the baseball world and the media, and the manager who was fired the most in professional baseball.
“It was only after I began my life as a leader and had countless children that I was able to understand a mother’s ruthless love.
I too have become ruthless.
They treated him strictly and trained him harshly.
He yelled at me to get up immediately even if I fell.
If the grandfather extends his hand every time his grandson falls, the child will fall several times without making any progress and will just wait for help.
That won't do.
So, ruthlessness is true love.”
- From the text
Maybe that's why.
Kim Seong-geun, who is still considered a respected teacher by many players, was showered with praise as a “teacher of the times,” “a respectable adult,” and “an ideal leader” in the scene where he was hitting fungo balls to young players on JTBC’s “Strongest Baseball.”
This is probably because the harsh and continuous training of Kim Seong-geun is actually filled with parental love.
Even now, over 80 years old, Kim Seong-geun goes to the baseball stadium every morning, pitches the ball himself, helps troubled players, and stays up all night reading various baseball books.
His family and friends try to dissuade him from suffering so much at his age, but he doesn't care.
For Kim Seong-geun, the time he spends contemplating baseball is an exciting time, as he can imagine his student's hopeful future, wondering, "If I fix it like this, will it be different?" and "If I use that method, will things get better?"
“If you just want to be comfortable
“It’s no different from dying.”
'The important thing is an unwavering spirit!'
An attitude toward life that I have protected as if it were my life
Ultimately, what Kim Seong-geun wants to say through this book is the truth of life: even if you experience countless failures and trial and error, if you keep challenging yourself, a new path will eventually open up.
His life and the students he taught proved it.
We must live every moment, not just once, with such urgency, that "life is a moment." Of course, Kim Seong-geun's life philosophy—that we must not miss any moment we encounter in life and pour it out without any awareness of pain or limitations—could be heard as the talk of a so-called "old fart."
Nevertheless, the reason why Kim Seong-geun's every word on "Strongest Baseball" becomes a topic of conversation and his explosive popularity is probably because he is still practicing his philosophy even in his 80s, and as a player on the field who "never ages," he has proven that philosophy to be right.
When Won Seong-jun, a young player raised in "Strongest Baseball," was not selected in the rookie draft, Kim Seong-geun's tenacity in not giving up on the player's recruitment until the very end, even training him throughout the Chuseok holiday, is the very spirit of "the important thing is an unwavering spirit" that heated up Korea during the 2022 World Cup.
Kim Seong-geun, who has never once lost his "middle-breaking" spirit during his nearly 60-year baseball career, has risen to the top of the Korean baseball world and achieved goals that were once thought to be impossible. His life gives hope and courage to all who are taking difficult steps in these difficult times.
To those who hesitate to take steps because it seems like things aren't getting much better no matter how hard they try, Kim Seong-geun offers this calm encouragement: "A life of repeated trial and error is the best, and if you don't give in to any trials or frustrations and keep challenging yourself, you will eventually find your way."
I hope that the sparkling insights and wisdom that author Kim Seong-geun has gleaned from his 60-plus years of experience within diamonds will strike a deep chord in the hearts of all readers.
