The Players Who First Opened the Doors to 200 Wins, 2000 Hits, 30-30, and 40-40
Each item includes conditions for comparison, not just the magnitude of the records but also their achievement process. We avoided values that change daily, like those from the ongoing season, and focused on confirmed historical records. While the same player may appear in multiple lists, we explain them through different questions about single seasons, first milestones, pitching, foreign players, and retired numbers.
Lee Man-soo's First KBO Home Run
Lee Man-soo's First Home Run in KBO League
When comparing Lee Man-soo's first home run in the KBO League with players from other eras, we must first distinguish the number of regular season games, plate appearances, innings, ballparks, and the trends in hitting and pitching.

Numbers such as his wins, RBIs, and runs scored—indicative of his teammates' support—should not be explained solely by individual ability.
The reason we've placed this at the first of the eight is that it concretely shows how we can understand the scale of the league and game environment at the time when familiar numbers were first achieved through the specific player’s career. For record 3994, let's first check the year of accomplishment and then look for the current standards in the same category.
