If you think you’ve seen baseball, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
On Sunday the crew and I went to the Tokyo Dome to see the Yomiuri Giants vs. the Hanshin Tigers. Honestly, it was the best baseball game I’ve ever been to! First of all, standing room tickets are only $10 US. Second of all, you can bring whatever you want into the stadium (food, beer, etc.). They even provide cups for your drinking convenience, lol. Third and most important of all, THE FANS ARE ABSOLUTELY NUTS!
Each team’s fans sit in sections and do not stray from their designated areas. Then, for every at bat and every pitch, they chant the team songs and clap in unison. I officially became a Hanshin Tigers fan because they had the best songs and their fans wouldn’t stop giving me hi-fives (kind of difficult when you’re trying to eat a bowl of curry and rice with chopsticks but hey, I managed).
The game was full of action with home runs, risky plays, stolen bases, hit batters, extra innings and cheerleaders. That’s right, Japanese baseball has CHEERLEADERS!
I officially love this country J
