Take me to the ball game
Time to play catch up! A few months ago for Explore Japan class, our teacher took us to see a baseball game. WOOOO. No really WOOOO. I grew up in Australia and Hong Kong, which means baseball isn't really a popular sport, cricket was. To me baseball, is really American or Japanese.Baseball is a surprising long game, the game which we watched was at least 3-4 hours long, however since we were having so much fun, and getting really into the game helps make time fly. We watched Seibu Lions (Saitama) vs Hanshin Tigers (Osaka). The Seibu Lion's dome isn't too far from the Hitotsubashi dorms (around 30mins) so definitely take the chance to see a match if you can! (Baseball season tends to be around late March-late October)
The real reason I was so hyped up to watch baseball is because I really love this manga/ anime called Ookiku Furikabutte (Big Windup) and thats where I learned all the rules so this was one way for my anime obsession to come to life.
My teacher is a serious (and when I say serious, I mean CRAZYY) Hanshin Tigers fan, so obviously he got us tickets in the Hanshin Tiger fan area, and we got seriously nice tickets, close to field and great view. (Once a baseball flew towards us!!! Man we could have gotten a rogue ball!)
Just walking into the stadium (since we had class, we were a bit late, I think maybe 3rd inning)
Awesome Tiger Fans! They are so passionate and welcoming!!!
Henri and I decided to dive into the Hanshin fan style, by buying our own Tiger ears!!
7th Inning Stretch, Balloon tradition, to pump up the team, the fans blow up and let go of these epic suspicious looking balloons. (So glad I'm not on clean up duty!)
That's a wrap!
