Last night was my first ever baseball game, watching local heroes the Hiroshima Carp take the number one spot in the league (so I'm told!). Pretty crazy stuff for a non-sports fan, watching thousands of normally reserved Japanese people screaming and shouting in joy. I'm not fully familiar with the game yet, but the Carp fielding was pretty amazing- sometimes it seemed like the other team were only at bat for five minutes before bugging out for the dugout. I wouldn't say I'm a baseball convert yet, but it was definitely a fun evening!
