Baseball.....Japanese style!

We took a bus trip to Sendai (yep, that one you have heard so much about) to go see America's favorite game! Actually we prefer football (by far) but when you live overseas you get what you get! We saw the Rakuten Eagles play and the game was so much fun!

I am telling you --- Japanese really know how to hype up a baseball game! They have different chants for EVERY player and sing songs when their team is at bat. The cool thing about is they are so respectful to the other teams too. When the opposing team is at bat, the other side doesn't do their cheers. Geee, I really love Japan!

Instead of "Take me out to the Ballgame" This is what they do at the bottom of the 7th!



This poor lil man looks as excited as Elijah did. I don't understand....Elijah said he had a good time at the game.

Super clean, Jenn! Everyone is really polite too! You can bring your own cooler and check it in at the entrance and come back to it throughout the game. The workers will pour your drink into a stadium cup for you for free!
