Yesterday, we got to meet our favorite player: Takashi Ogino. We dug up potatoes, took pictures, got a few things signed, and had a few short chats with him. He's incredibly kind. Probably one of the coolest experiences I've ever had.

Hawks increase their lead in the Pacific League to 4.5 games over the Fighters. What a comeback for them, tying the game on a home run and taking the lead on a bases loaded walk.

What a win for the Seibu Lions. Tied it in the bottom of the 8th and walked it off in the bottom of the 9th.

Sometimes you just gotta spend the day watching baseball, doing impossible puzzles, and then eating some delicious hot pot.

Sometimes, you just want to eat conveyor-belt sushi.
Don't let anyone tell you what is and isn't sushi. In addition to the usual tuna and salmon, I had cheeseburger, duck, and roast beef with truffle sauce. You can find all sorts of stuff on the menu.

Atsuki Taneichi strikes out 11 and pitches a complete game, the first by a Chiba Lotte pitcher this year.
Fun fact: my brother-in-law went to the same high school as Taneichi.

Chiba Lotte's light-hitting shortstop just hit a no-doubter for his first career home run.
It only took him 282 games.

Yesterday's haul! One of my favorite things about Japanese baseball is how much merchandise there is.

Picked up this sweet Power Pro figure recently.
The Marines are my favorite team, but I wish we had space for all of them.
