The Heroes (히어로즈) are a South Korean professional baseball team. They are a member of the Korean Baseball Organization and compete in the annual KBO Championship which culminates in the Korean Series. The Heroes mascot is Teokdori (턱돌이).

[edit] History

The franchise was originally known as the Sammi Superstars and had subsequent incarnations as the Chongbo Pintos and Taepyoungyang Dolphins. The team was renamed the Hyundai Unicorns after being sold to Hyundai in 1996, and was relocated from Incheon to Suwon. The Unicorns won the KBO championship four times (1998, 2000, 2003 and 2004), with only the Haitai Tigers (now Kia Tigers) having a better record of championship victories. In 2008, the team was sold to Centennial Investments and were renamed the Woori Heroes, after the naming rights were sold to Woori Tobacco. The Heroes play their home games at the Mokdong Baseball Stadium in the Yangcheon-gu of Seoul.

Like other baseball teams in Korea (and contrary to most professional teams in other sports around the world) the team is known primarily by the name of the sponsor, occasionally as their nickname, and never as the city in which they are based.
