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:
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
