Chance To Third- Missed

Hanshin Tigers 2 Yokohama Baystars 4 (Koshien)

12th September 2009

So- if we win today, we go up to third! Yakult lost to Chunichi in the early bat-off 4-2, meaning a win or a draw against the Baystars would get us up into the playoff places. On a side note, I’ve just finished reading Robert Whiting’s You Gotta Have Wa. Its an interesting read, fully exposing the craziness of Japanese ways (thats not a complete review, I know). I’m moving straight onto The Meaning of Ichiro, and I hope to have some more eloquent thoughts down on paper (or screen) in the near future.

On The Anniversary of my Koshien Visit, Hanshin Do It Again!

Wow! We might not have the easy wins of the Yomiuri Giants, but we do have the most exciting, fantastic escapes and victories.
