This big Korean slugger came up
through the Cubs organization as he was signed by former Cubs' pacific-rim
scout Leon Lee in 1999. Choi became the first Korean hitter to appear in
Major League when he made his debut in 2002, where ironically less than two
years later, he was traded by the Cubs to the Marlins for
Leon's son, Derrek Lee. Pictured here is his card out of the 2001 Topps
Gold Label set, one of the most beautiful sets I have ever seen being
produced, and to make it better, I got Choi to autographed on it.
