It feels like a lifetime has passed since Lee Seung Yeop and Park Chan Ho last wore the same uniform.
They were both stars then — Lee a hard-hitting slugger for the Yomiuri Giants and Park a pitcher for the San Diego Padres — joining forces under the South Korean flag at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.
So much has changed since then, as once-bright careers have dwindled to embers in need of a new spark.
