三人で!!行けぇ!!よっしゃ,これぁチャンスゥ!!

Man, Japanese baseball is an entirely different sport from American baseball. I mean sure the rules are the same, the objectives are the same, but the way you go about everything is entirely different. For example: Everyone on the team dressed in suits and ties for the trip to and from the game. Doing so is showing respect for your team mates, your opponents, and the ground. Speaking of which, paying respect the ground (or playing field) is very important. Every player takes part in maintaining our field. At a game, we clean the ground before and after playing (both teams). Before the start of a game and when the game is finished the opposing teams line up, face each other and bow.
Throughout the whole game, the players on the bench were standing and actively cheering and making noise throughout the whole game. Everyone was involved. I love it!


BTW This picture is of the team I am playing with, but it seems to be an old photo because not everyone in the picture is a current player
