Gwangju's Kia Tigers are your 2009 Korean Series champions, winning in Game 7 after Na Ji-wan hit a walk-off homerun (끝내기 홈런).
It's the franchise's 10th win since the Series began in 1982, their first championship since 1997, when they were the Haitai Tigers. The Pittsburgh Pirates, by contrast, have neither had a winning season nor made the postseason since 1992.
Celebration, from here.
I'm not sure what the market's like for throw-back jerseys here, but I did see a neat Haitai Tigers' uniform for sale downtown, during the Gwangju Recollection Festival.
