Dodgers-Padres season opener is a triumphant homecoming for Korean star Kim

Shohei Ohtani is getting most of the attention as his Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres start the MLB this week in the first-ever regular season games in South Korea. Kim, who played for the Korea Baseball Organization's Kiwoom Heroes for seven seasons before signing with San Diego in 2020, has called it a "glory" for him to play in the Gocheok Sky Dome again as a member of the Padres.
