You might not understand a word of this video. I didn’t. But it doesn’t matter. The images captured tell the whole story. Fine, if you must know, after South Korea got all unroar-y about the scene, actress and singer Nam Gyu Ri said, “The first time ever on a baseball field, I was really excited…
Magee Rehab, which did much more than help me put myself back together after I got hit-and-ran, is up to win a van in Toyota’s “100 Cars For Good” program. To help them win — and by all means, I’d consider it a magnificent favor if you did — you need to log onto Facebook…
