Charity game: Buffaloes vs. Marines


We went to the baseball game today, Orix (from Osaka) vs. Marines (from Chiba). It was contributed to the victims and survivors of the Tohoku mega earthquake. The both teams' players did a fund-raising before the game, standing at each gate, shaking hands with the fans. At the start of the game, the captains of the two teams made a speech on the mound to express their condolences and promise to stand by all the people in the affected area. The slogan shown on the photo says "Ganbarou, Nippon" meaning "Hang Tough, Japan!"

We had a good time of both thinking of the survivors and enjoying the game.
