"Baseball..." "F--- Yeah!"

Yesterday we went to our first Japanese baseball game!

We watched the (Kobe) Orix Buffaloes play the (say it with me) Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles... Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Makes for good cheers...

The game was a great time! We all met at about 1:30 to have lunch and some beers, then rode the train to the ballpark... We got tickets for only 1500 yen ($12.96) and with some smuggled in tall boys (or "silos" if you're from Iowa (or "big cans of beer" if you're Sherbie)), we were set for a wonderful night!

The weather was awesome! FINALLY not humid and not hot... Good stuff!

Got a hot dog at the concession stand, it was smaller and more efficient then an American hot dog, but still really good... Not as spicy, but still had plenty of 'chup, 'tard, onions, and relish on it... Good stuff!

The pictures are here, and let me say they are awesome! Enjoy!
