Korea's all-star festivities included a magnificent BUNT DERBY

By Matt Monagan

A wise man once said, "I'm a little bit old school. I still like bunting."
So do we, and, apparently, so does the Korea Baseball Organization -- which held a bunt derby (!!) as part of its all-star festivities this past weekend. Seriously, check it out below:

As you can gather from the clip, batters try to bunt the ball into the targets down the first- and third-base lines. Although watching baseballs get catapulted nearly 500 feet is a very good time, this also seems fun. Bunts are fun. Let's just hope bunt double king Lee Dae-hyung was invited.
