Hanshin Tigers

Went to the Hanshin Tigers baseball game with a friend last night. What an experience! The Japanese fans love their baseball. The stadium was packed. We sat in right field. Everyone is dressed in Tiger-wear and there are bands and cheerleaders all over the stands.The girls selling beer wear a little keg on their back and pump it into your cup. The guy in the tiger headgear was handing out words to the songs that are sung when each Tigers player gets up to bat. Each player has a little song and there are other songs sang at different times. During the 7th inning stretch, everyone blows up a balloon and at the same time, releases the ballons into the air. Afterward, someone picks all the balloons up from the field and play resumes.
I had a great time!
