LG Twins Baseball Club (Korean: LG 트윈스 프로야구단) is a Korea Professional Baseball team based in Seoul, South Korea. Twins are one of the most popular baseball teams in Korea, since they gain many fans in 80's~00's, who usually reside in Seoul. The club was first established as MBC Chungyong owned by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation until 1989, when they were taken over by LG Corporation. The LG Twins play their home games at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, which they share with their rival, Doosan Bears. Chungyong first used Jamsil Baseball Stadium since 1982 - the first year of Korean pro baseball league -, and Bears started using the same stadium 3 years later, 1985.
The Twins won the Korean Series in 1990 - that is the first year with their new names - and 1994. The Korean Series MVP was Kim Yong-Su in both Series. Kim's number, 41 is now the only retired number of the team.
