Samsung Lions Baseball Club (Korean: 삼성 라이온즈 야구단)[1] is a Korea Professional Baseball team founded in 1982. They are based in Daegu and are members of the Korean Baseball Organization. Their home stadium is Daegu Baseball Stadium. They have won the Korean Series five times.[2] They are the current Korean champions and also the defending Asia Series champions, becoming the first non-Japanese located team to win the tournament since its inception.

The first retired number in the Samsung Lions organization was number 22, in honour of the legendary catcher and slugger, Lee Man-Soo, who is currently a manager with the SK Wyverns. The second retired number in the Samsung Lions organization is number 10, in honour of the legendary left-handed batter Yang Joon-Hyuk. Yang led the league in batting four times, and holds six batting career records including the home run record with 351. The expected retired number is number 36, in honour of the batter Lee Seung-Yeop, who has returned to the club after a period in the Nippon Professional Baseball.

Julio Franco of the Atlanta Braves once was a member of this team. The team also has an avid following amongst Americans living in South Korea[3]
