Hurdlewax: Welcome to the team, Sun-Woo!  I'm sure you've heard some bad things about pitching in Coors Field...
SunWooKim: Oh, that's nothing.  I'm glad to be pitching here in the States instead of Korea.  The fences here are so far out!  I'm used to a distance from the plate to the right-field wall of about 95 feet.
SunWooKim: Instead of cork and leather, our baseballs are filled with rubber and helium.  The trajectory of the baseball is helped along with a team of skilled puppeteers who sit from the rafters.
SunWooKim: The infield is still diamond-shaped, but in between the four major bases there are a series of "rest stop" bases that are three feet apart.  There is a total of 120 bases.
SunWooKim: My stadium happened to be situated atop the extinct volcano of Halla-San.  The air is very thin there.  Otis Nixon played a game there in 2001.  Last I checked he's still floating in restricted airspace above the stadium.
SunWooKim: A few years ago I claimed the lowest ERA in the league, which was 2.56^43.
Hurdlewax: No way, Sun.  I refuse to believe it.
SunWooKim: Wanna bet?
Hurdlewax: Okay.  Okay, sure!  What do you want to bet?
SunWooKim: I'll, uh...I'll bet my baseball glove.
Helboy: *gasps*

You don't wager your mitt, Sun!  That glove's a part of you!  It's bad luck to give it up!  Hey Clint, do you think he's really going to do it?
BarmesAway: Do what?

 
Helboy: Will Sun bet a mitt?
Wilson_Betemit: what
Helboy: Will Sun bet a mitt?
Wilson_Betemit: hello?
Helboy: Ahem. Will Sun bet a mitt?
Wilson_Betemit: it certainly appears so
Helboy: Aw shit man, that's crazy.
SunWooKim: *shrug*

Joke's on him anyway.  In Korea, gloves are just cinder blocks tied to your hand with a rope.
SunWooKim: Oh!  And we hate freedom and eat our pets.
