The '''Samsung Lions''' ({{ko-hhrm|hangul=삼성 라이온즈}})<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.samsunglions.com/M_Lions/emblem.asp |script-title=ko:삼성라이온즈 |publisher=Samsung Lions official website |language=ko|access-date=23 March 2012}}</ref> are a South Korean professional baseball team founded in 1982. They are based in the southeastern city of [[Daegu]] and are members of the [[KBO League]]. Their home stadium is [[Daegu Samsung Lions Park]]. They have won the [[Korean Series|Korean Championship]] eight times, and also finished as runners-up on ten occasions. The Samsung Lions are the first team to win four consecutive Korean Series titles (2011, 2012, 2013, 20142011–2014), and are also the first team to win athe regular season league title for five consecutive years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 20152011–2015).
 
==History==
The Samsung Lions were founded in 1982 as one of the original six [[KBO League]] teams. They won their first championship in 1985, going 40-14-1 in the first half and 37-18 in the second half for a total of 77–32 for the best one-season [[winning percentage]] in KBO League history (a record that still stands). The 1985 team had two 25-game-winners on their staff, [[Kim Si-jin]] and [[Kim ll-young]]; as the Lions were winners of both half-season pennants that year, no [[Korean Series]] was held and the Lions were declared champions outright.<ref name=Lee>Young Hoon Lee, Rodney Fort, editors. ''The Sports Business in The Pacific Rim: Economics and Policy'' (Springer, Oct 31, 2014) [https://books.google.com/books?id=9gYjBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA178&lpg=PA178&dq=KBO+pennant+winners+1985&sourcepg=bl&ots=-ly4sNIOa1&sig=ACfU3U2ZMODZgnP25waoe34wsyFKh4X7NQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYxNK0jsTpAhWYl3IEHfvpDeIQ6AEwC3oECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=KBO%20pennant%20winners%201985&f=falsePA178 p. 178].</ref>
 
The Lions would also win the championship in 2002, 2005 and 2006, having the best record in each one of those years. In 2010, [[Ryu Jung-il]] was hired as the new manager of the Samsung Lions. He led the team to the best record in the league and its fifth KBO title in 2011. After the KBO League, the Samsung Lions won the [[Asian Series]] championship. The Samsung Lions became the first team to win the pennant race, the Korean Series, and the Asian Series in the same year.
