South Korean Bounced
A South Korean pitcher tested positive and is out of the World Baseball Classic:
South Korean pitcher Park Myung-hwan has tested positive for a banned substance and been thrown out of the World Baseball Classic, Major League Baseball said in a statement on Friday.
No further details on the test were immediately available.
Park appeared in just one game for South Korea, who stormed through group play as the tournament's only unbeaten team with a record of 6-0.
This means he'll also miss the next two years of international competition. Does anyone know if this will also get him banned from the Korean Professional Leagues?
Park did not allow a hit in two innings, although he did walk 2 and hit a batter. I guess we better get busy expunging those records.
Baseball Musings is conducting a pledge drive in March. Click here for details.

Maybe he won't get the military exemption now either.
