After work a lot of people from work went together to the Yokohama Baystars and Tokyo Giants game. It was quite a game. We managed to leave 4 people at Yokosuka. They finally caught up with us outside the stadium. We picked up some food before heading into the stadium.
We sat in a section that is normally reserved for Japanese. We moved around a lot in the section of seats that was reserved for us. I enjoyed two snow cones through the game.
The Giants went up early it was 7-2 entering the 7th inning. It did not look good for the home team. By playing small ball they worked themselves back into the game.
At this point it turned into a college football atmosphere. People were screaming and yelling and clapping. I felt right at home. All the Japanese around us started to get into it as well. In the end it was Kroon who spelled doom for the Baystars. A Baystar himself 1 year ago, so it was a little like the A-Rod situation back home. The game ended on a broken bat liner, Giants win 7-6. All together it was a blast.
As we were walking out there were a lot of Japanese American High Fives. In the true spirit of cooperation.
