| | Chan-ho Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Following a 15-11 season with the Dodgers in 2001, Park was granted free agency and was signed by the Texas Rangers in December of that year to a five year, USD $65 million contract, which is one of the highest paid contracts for a pitcher. |
 | | Under this theory, it was Park's pitching style, which tended to induce flyballs (which at hitter friendly Ameriquest often end up as home runs), which led to his troubles with the Rangers-- and which was less of a problem when he pitched for the Dodgers, with their pitcher-friendly home park Dodger Stadium. |
 | | Park's place in the annals of baseball history is secure, in any case, as the pitcher who gave up Barry Bonds' record-breaking 71st home run in 2001. |
