All Hands to the Flag!

I went to the Orix Buffaloes vs. Chiba Lotte Marines baseball game at the Kyocera Osaka Dome. It was great! Extra innings! Best of all (my new adopted team) the Marines won 7-6 in the 10th with a Tomoya Satozaki 2 run HR in the top of the inning. They ended the game with an exciting out at home plate. Another highlight was a pinch-hit RBI single by Benny Agbayani.

But, best of all... Guess who the last person I talked with yesterday in English was? Bobby Valentine! :) I got to have a brief conversation with him before the game. Sugoi desu ne!!!
