As stated by the previous commenter, not only is Byun-Hyun Kim the first Korean-born player in the WS, but his role in the 2001 World Series is well known. A victim of two consecutive blown saves, he would have been immortalized as a WS goat a la Bill Buckner if it weren't for Mariano Rivera's own implosion in Game 7 which led Kim's Diamondbacks to the title. Nonetheless, congrats to Park for defying age, injury, and critics and still be productive for a good team. Way off.
