Here's a short thread about baseball in Japan. I'm on a little trip here and going to four games in the couple of weeks that I'm here.

My first game was last Wednesday with Seibu Lions hosting Nippon Ham Fighters (Ohtani's team while in Japan). It was oppressively hot, and for some reason, they installed mist jets all around the stadium to try to cool people off. It was outrageously humid under the dome as it caught the moisture.

My second game was on Friday in Hiroshima as the Carp hosted the Yakult Swallows. We were down in the LF corner, but the seats were very comfortable and actually faced the right direction to watch the game on the infield. No dome or misting system meant that it was cooler, though still hot.

Third game was in Osaka (actually Kobe (actually Nishinomiya)) with the Hanshin Tigers hosting the Yomiuri Giants. Koshien Stadium just finished hosting the national summer HS baseball tournament. Tigers tickets are tough to get, so I overpaid for Stubhub tickets in the outfield, which was great!
