My father in law took my wife and I to Makuhari today to catch a baseball game. Chiba Lotte Marines who are managed by former Major League manager Bobby Valentine was going against the legendary Sadaharu Oh's Softbank Hawks. It was a real windy day which was compounded by being out by the bay. Bobby Valentine is a star in Japan and he came out to meet the fans. We had really good seats (you can pretty much sit where you want) so we were able to get his autograph. The Chiba Lotte Marines feature shortstop Tsuyoshi Nishioka, a team Japan member and a very popular player in Japan. The Marines started off awesome by scoring 4 runs in the first but then fell apart and lost 12-4. It was fun and my wife and I enjoyed it as we tried to choose which beer girl was the cutest. In typical Japanese fashion, the ball park has real young and cute girls serving beers to all the drunk men. Some of our favorites are below.
