Seibu Lions vs. Orix Buffalo




On Sunday, Neal and I took my Dad to a Seibu Lions game. They were playing the Orix Buffalo (Ichiro's original team). The Lions dominated the game but we did get to see a player get kicked out of the game for bad behavior. The Buffalo player made a line in the batter's box to show he didn't like the umpires' calls for the strike zone. It was funny because the umpire then makes an announcement over the PA to announce why the player was kicked out and the crowd cheered. It was a Western who got kicked out, of course.

Only in Japan do young girls carry mini-kegs on their backs and walk through the stands selling it cup by cup. My Dad took a picture with a beer girl to bring home and show his friends. I must say that there were a lot more young guys selling beer this time. Hmmm?
