SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee was briefly detained at Los Angeles International Airport after he arrived from South Korea on Wednesday.

Lee didn’t have the correct documents to get through customs, officials said. He had forgotten the paperwork, according to KRON4.

Lee was arriving in the United States on Wednesday to prepare for Spring Training in Arizona, which starts in February.

The missing paperwork issue has been sorted out, and Lee was allowed to enter Los Angeles.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped to resolve the issue, according to Cleveland.com.

The Giants issued the following statement about the incident:

“Earlier today, Jung Hoo Lee experienced a brief travel issue at LAX due to a paperwork issue. The matter was quickly clarified with the appropriate authorities and he has since been cleared to continue his travel. We appreciate the professionalism of all parties involved.”

The Giants signed Lee to a $113 million, six-year contract. He hit .266 with eight home runs and 55 RBIs, with 10 stolen bases over 150 games.
