Memorial Altar

Mourners pay their respects yesterday to the late Lim Soo-hyuk, a former baseball catcher with the Busan Lotte Giants, at the mortuary of Kyung Hee University East-West Neo Medical Center in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Lim died yesterday after being in a vegetative state for nearly 10 years. The portrait of a smiling Lim was taken in a game in 2000, his final season.
