Bay Stars Game

July 5, 2009
A guy David works with gave us tickets to see the local professional baseball team. The team name is the Yokohama Bay Stars. We had tickets to go back in June but it rained that day and we did not want to get the kids out. We had great seats. We were behind home plate in what they call the blue seats. Once again there were cheer leaders and a band. Japan really loves their baseball. David bought the kids plastic bats to beat together to help cheer on the home team.
Abby really enjoyed the game. She would not take her eyes off the field and she would bounce and dance around. Dawson liked the game but he lost interest quickly. He keep David busy going to the concession stands and just looking around.


One thing that really caught our attention is that they bring out their pitcher out to the field in a car. Yes, in a car.
We almost witnessed our first fight in Japan. Two guys just outside the stadium were arguing and started to push. David saw the police trying to get over there to break it up. Only bad thing is it was close to David and he had Abby.

When we were leaving the Bay Stars were outside letting people take pictures with them. So we go in line. Abby did not know what to think. She was too interested in looking at the stars.
