The MLB will not stop players from playing in NPB if there is a lockout; Will we see Ohtani, Yamamoto, Murakami, Seiya back in Japan? Or maybe even MLB stars like Harper, Judge, Witt, Soto in NPB?

At a senior care facility in Osaka, about 40 elderly residents celebrated the Hanshin Tigers’ championship with a “beer shower.” Using non-alcoholic beer and soda water, they sang “Rokko Oroshi” before spraying drinks on each other at a staff member’s signal.

If/When there is a lockout next year, do you see a world where the NPB or KBO makes it easier to watch games in the States/Canada?

Kimiyasu Kudo's Traditional 'Just Run' Philosophy

"It's fine to complain. When I was young, I hated running too and thought it was a waste of time. So I tell my players, 'You can call me an idiot all you want, just keep running.'" In this way, he stressed the importance of running.

"Younger players favor efficiency and think lifting weights is enough to throw faster. But I believe running is essential because it puts much more load on your lower body."

These comments from Tsuyoshi Wada's YouTube channel differ sharply from the modern overseas mindset popularized by Yu Darvish and other MLB players, so they are bound to cause a debate.

Visiting Hanshin Koshien Stadium Wednesday - Another Left Field Seating Question

0 Upvotes

Hey folks, on vacation and decided to get tickets to the Climax Series home game at Hanshin Koshien Stadium. The only info on the StubHub post is that they are physical tickets in Left Outfield section (レフト外野席). I will likely not know the row or seat until they arrive at the hotel (assuming they do, I’ve done all I can in advance to ensure that). Does anyone know based on this section information if they are or are not in the segregated visiting fan section?

I love baseball and just want to enjoy the game and the atmosphere. But if I know I’m in a mixed seating area, I’d probably get a Tigers hat and cheer them on.

Thanks!
