Baseball in Japan – TUJ Students Cheer on Yokohama Bay Stars & Tokyo Giants
On March 30th, TUJ students headed off to Yokohama to watch baseball’s Yokohama Bay Stars take on the Tokyo Giants. Through an OSS sponsored event, fans of both teams headed off to the stadium with their team caps and gear close at hand. Baseball was first introduced to Japan in the late 1800s, and the Japanese baseball culture has evolved quite differently from America’s For many students it was their first time watching a professional Japanese baseball game, and needless to say, everybody enjoyed themselves. Students joined in on the cheers and joined the other fans in the stadium, experiencing first hand Japan’s most “traditional” sports.
