We talked about this briefly before, since Shin-Soo Choo is from South Korea he is obligated to serve 2 years in their military. There is one way out, and that is to win a gold medal at the Asian games. South Korea beat Taiwan for gold at the Asian games yesterday, so he is likely to freed from that responsibility.
That is kind of fucked up when you think about. I mean any normal person has no shot of getting out of service, but he can because he can hit a ball well. Then again, it's kind of fucked up to force your people into the military anyways. The good news here is the city of Cleveland doesn't lose their best athlete (wow that is sad).
