野球！阪神！ Baseball ->Hanshin Tigers

  Last night,I had one of my greatest night here ( actually I had lots of great nights this summer.) I went to a baseball stadium and watched LIVE baseball match! Oh what a night it was. Most of you guys know, baseball is Japan's most famous sports. From primary school, Japanese kids have baseball practice until high school, if they don't give up from those hell-like training sessions. Just rethink about Doraemon. You can see Nobita always got bullied just because he couldn't make any hit. Easy to say,Japanese are just crazy about baseball.

  The game started at 6 but we (I went with 3 classmates , all of them are from baseball club) entered around 6.15 .The match was 阪神　vs　ヤクルト　（Hanshin Tigers vs Yakult , Hanshin is Osaka and Kobe area, Yakult..Yeah their sponsors the Yakult drink company,a team form Tokyo ). Of course I supported Hanshin :D

  First round , Hanshin 0-2 Yakult down. But just a few minutes after we sit down, PUFF! HOME RUN!!!! First time being able to see a home run , LIVE. And the Tigers able to score 2 points.Wasn't able to snap any pictures of it cause I was too busy enjoying the atmosphere and shouting and yelling in joy.

The atmosphere in the stadium was unbelievable

Very cool.. the hitter.My friend say baseball player easy to attract girls 

sobb..should have joined that

At round 7,they have this tradition to release these balloons into the air.

The view was just simply magnificent

  Things didn't went well for the Tigers. We were 2-4 down at the final round,round 9 . 20% of the people even went back d cause they were so disappointed (maybe some other factors like traffic , etc.) But rest of the supporters didn't give up and continued to shout and yelled to support the players. Just like that,miracle happened and we scored 3 points for a miraculous comeback, winning 5-4 at the end.

Interview of the star player of the night　矢野輝弘

  The whole stadium went nuts when they hit the winner. Star players of the night were 矢野　輝弘、今岡　誠　and 桧山　進次郎. OK just imagine..Football fans what if your favourite team were losing 0-1 and levelled the score at 89 minute,then scored another goal in stoppage time?(Did it remind you of 1999's UEFA Champions League Final??) Some more if you were watching it live at home,in  Old Trafford or Anfield or somewhere else. Basketball fans - a buzzer 3 point shot?What bout that?? Oh what a experience. Wish to go again. And I have set myself a target to watch Manchester United live someday in Old Trafford.

Go Go Tigers!
