Guan Dayuan held a retirement ceremony at the Taipei Arena today. Although he was not able to compete in the Arena, he retired from non-professional players to the Arena. He bluntly said that no one could write this script. He urged other players to cherish their feathers. Cherish your current happy environment.
CITIC Brothers Guan Dayuan is one of the few players from secondary vocational schools who did not major in baseball. He started his professional baseball career in 2011 and has witnessed the ups and downs of secondary vocational schools. Now the “graduation ceremony” is held in the Dome. He said: “I started playing baseball from non-majors.” From career to retirement at the Dome, no one could have written this script.”
After he decided to retire last year, Guan Dayuan came into contact with community baseball and young players from non-majoring classes. “It was as if he saw himself playing baseball more than 30 years ago, and saw every move they made during practice, and all the ways they might be scolded by the coach. His actions are just like the stupid look I did 30 years ago.”
In his speech at the retirement ceremony, Guan Dayuan specifically urged other players to take good care of their feathers. “Since the day I joined professional baseball 13 years ago, I have always reminded myself not to go out casually after the game, and not to linger when I meet strangers outside. Players’ phones are monitored and monitored at all times.”
Guan Dayuan pointed out that the era when everyone was in danger has passed. “The dome has been hatched, and 30,000 people watching a game is no longer a dream.” When talking about the only regret about his retirement, Guan Dayuan said, “It is a pity that there is no chance of retirement.” The players are very happy to be able to step on the mound in the Dome during the season.”
When it comes to future plans, in addition to assisting brother teams, pitching coach Wang Jianmin also has the task of cultivating young players. Guan Dayuan pointed out that he established the “Taiwan Yuan Dynamic Sports Development Association” at the end of last year. He said, “I hope to assist In the past, single parents and orphaned children with the same background as me were allowed to use their own power to turn their lives around.”
Guan Dayuan plans to hold a charity golf tournament at the end of this year, hoping that some companies will invest to help athletes who need support, not just baseball, but also individual sports; in addition, Guan Dayuan will also assist the amateur team Taichung Tai Shou Ba Long Team.
