Doosan Bears (두산 베어스) are a Korean professional baseball team founded in 1982. The Doosan Bears (formerly the OB Bears) won the Korean Series in 1982, the inaugural KBO season. The Doosan Bears have won three Korea Series titles (1982, 1995, 2001). The Bears play their home games at Seoul's Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
The principal sponsor, Doosan, is primarily involved in construction and heavy industry, although like many Korean chaebol it has an extremely wide ranging portfolio of interests. It claims to be Korea's oldest company. The previous sponsor, OB (Oriental Brewery) produces one of South Korea's top selling lager brands.
Korean-American Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward, threw out the first pitch at a Doosan Bears game on a visit to Korea in 2006.
