The 2008 Korean Series began on Monday, the 26th of October, at the Munhak Baseball Stadium in Incheon. It featured the SK Wyverns, who had claimed home ground advantage by finishing in first place at the end of the season, and the Doosan Bears, who had finished second and had defeated the Samsung Lions in a best-of-7 playoff series (4 games to 2) to advance to the next round. The SK Wyverns won the series in five games, after defeating Doosan four games straight after dropping the opening game. The series was interesting, as it pitted the final 2 teams from the 2007 Korean Series in a rematch. Kim Sung-Geun, known as 'baseball god', and Kim Kyeong-Moon, the coach of the Korean Olympic Baseball team both had a lot to prove.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
