The 741st episode of "Documentary Three Days" presents "All the Moments We Loved: The Last 72 Hours of Jamsil Baseball Stadium." Titled "Goodbye!

Baseball is a sport where the outcome remains unknown until the final out is recorded, leading people to visit the stadium regardless of whether they cheer for victory or swallow tears in defeat. Having opened in 1982, Jamsil Baseball Stadium has hosted countless legendary matches over 44 years, accumulating layers of human joy and sorrow. As a place where memories have been etched across generations, the stadium, which holds the childhoods, youth, and lives of many, is set to say goodbye at the end of this year. "Documentary Three Days" has captured the most intense 72 hours of those preparing for this final chapter.

As the end of Jamsil Baseball Stadium approaches, people continue to visit to leave special memories. A couple planning to marry next year decided to take their wedding photos there upon hearing the news that the stadium would disappear, offering a farewell to the venue that witnessed their love grow into marriage. A son, who once visited holding his father's hand, has returned as a father himself to show the stadium to his 10-month-old twins.

While one person's childhood passes and another's begins, Jamsil Baseball Stadium has always remained in the same place. For long-time fans, the end of this venue is not merely the disappearance of an old building, but a farewell to the time they spent laughing and crying there. This is why they return to capture the familiar scenery one last time.

While the stadium is a space of memory for some, it is a stage for dreams for others. Since the inaugural year of professional baseball, many players have nurtured their dreams and sweated on this ground. A boy who once cheered from the stands has grown to stand on the field after achieving his dream. While some prepare to say goodbye to the stadium they have shared for years, others are just beginning to write their own stories. At a stadium facing its end, what kind of future does a player standing at a new starting line dream of?

“I think my baseball career has only lasted about two to three innings,” said Moon Jeong-bin, an LG Twins player.

The protagonists are not limited to players and fans. There are those who start the day at the stadium before the players and fans arrive—the people who silently prepare the grounds. These are the individuals for whom Jamsil Baseball Stadium has been a workplace.

Kim Jong-mun (64), a groundkeeper who has guarded Jamsil Baseball Stadium for 26 years, is one such person. As the stadium is used as a home field by two different clubs, time for maintenance is always scarce despite the continuous season. From replanting worn grass and leveling soil to re-drawing field lines, it is because of these hands tending the ground from early morning that players can run on the green grass every day.

There is also someone who has held their position in the cafeteria for a long time: Kim Hyeon-suk (70), the head chef who has been responsible for the players' meals for 18 years. She has watched players who joined when they were twenty become fathers, and she has prepared meals with care every day, even looking after the players' superstitions. For those who have silently fulfilled their duties behind the loud cheers, what meaning will Jamsil Baseball Stadium hold?

People do not visit the stadium solely for baseball; it has also been a space to form new friendships. For Won Hui-ja (72), a reserved seat member, there are familiar faces even when she visits the stadium alone. Simply because they support the same team, she has become friends with people of different ages and professions. Because there are fans who always occupy the same seats, she is never lonely, and her happiest moments are cheering together with people ranging from young children to those the age of her own children, forgetting their differences in age. For these people, Jamsil Baseball Stadium has become a part of daily life—a place where they come for baseball, meet people, and return because of those people.

It is difficult to leave the stadium that holds memories and the people who have been there for so long. On the final night at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, what kind of farewells will people leave?

The narration is provided by singer Yoo Yeol, who is loved for his warm voice that spans generations. With his characteristic comfortable and emotional voice, he conveys the many memories embedded in Jamsil Baseball Stadium and the stories of the people who were there. “All the Moments We Loved - The Last 72 Hours of Jamsil Baseball Stadium” will be broadcast on Monday, November 2, at 8:30 PM on KBS 2TV.
