Dong-yol Sun in the 1984 Olympics?
I saw at the Baseball-Reference Bullpen that a "Dong-Ryeul Sun" is listed on South Korea's roster for the 1984 Olympics. Is this Dong-yol/Dong-yeol Sun who pitched for Chunichi and now manages the Samsung Lions? I asked at one KBO forum, but have heard neither yea nor nay.

The Japanese Wikipedia says that the former Chunichi Dragon closer 宣銅烈 participated in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics before turning pro. It also shows both "Seon Dong-ryeol" and "Sun, Dong Yeol" as Latin spellings for his name (the latter being the one that he uses), so I'm fairly certain that that's him.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
