Doosan Bears
The Doosan Bears (Korean: 두산 베어스) are a South Korean professional baseball team based in Seoul. Founded in 1982, they are a member of the KBO League. The Bears have won six Korean Series titles (1982, 1995, 2001, 2015, 2016, and 2019) and play their home games at Seoul's Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
The club was founded in Daejeon in 1982 as the OB Bears, with the Oriental Brewery as their owners. OB Bears were the first team to be founded in the KBO League. The Doosan Group initially wanted a base in Seoul from 1982, as their company was founded in Seoul and had no connection to Chungcheong Province. But since there was no corporation that could establish a baseball team in Daejeon, Doosan agreed to play in Daejeon for three years before returning to Seoul.
In 1985, the team moved to their current home in Seoul. The OB Bears were officially renamed the Doosan Bears in 1999, after Oriental Brewery was sold to InBev and the Doosan Group assumed ownership.
The Bears won the inaugural Korean Series in 1982 by defeating the Samsung Lions to become the first KBO League champion. Between 2015 and 2021, the Bears appeared in seven consecutive Korean Series championships, winning three of the series in 2015, 2016 and 2019.
The main colors of the team are navy blue and white, with red as the secondary color. From 1999 to 2009, yellow was used instead as the secondary color, before the team returned in 2010 to the iconic dark blue and red combination of the original OB Bears.
The Doosan Bears mascot is a bear named Cheolwoong (철웅). Its biggest feature is that it embodies the bear, the symbolic animal of Doosan Bears, as a dynamic robot character. It emphasized strength and a future-oriented image.
The Bears have retired numbers 21 and 54. The number 21 is retired in honour of pitcher Park Chul-soon, who won the KBO League Most Valuable Player Award, the Pitching Triple Crown, and the Korean Series Most Valuable Player Award in 1982. The number 54 is in memory of catcher Kim Young-shin, who committed suicide while still a young player.
