Baseball in Japan

by Paul2001

Baseball in a very popular sport in Japan. The Japanese probably rank amongst the Americans and the Cubans as the best baseball players in the world. In fact a touring baseball team of high school players recently played a game against my high school here in Toronto and cleaned their clock. They won 10 to 0 and my old high school is highly regarded for the quality of its baseball team. There are two professional leagues in Japan, the Central and Pacific, both being made up of six teams. To watch a game, you can buy tickets at the ballpark starting about 1000 yen. Though baseball is popular, the games are rarely sold out and you should be able to purchase tickets with a problem. Baseball in Japan has some minor differences from the game as it is played in the Americas. The whole infield is dirt covered unlike the American infields. Also the outfield fences are not so far out. They are...

Prices range from 1800 YEN to 5000 YEN.Check out the schedule and roll up for a great day/night out. The game I saw was of a good standard.

Hanshin Tigers - Baseball

by Pixiekatten

History of the TigersThe Hanshin Tigers baseball club is the second oldest pro baseball franchise in Japan, founded on December 10, 1935. The Tigers took part in the first professional baseball "season" in Japan the following year.From 1936 to 1938, the Tigers were arguably the best team in Japanese pro baseball. However, from 1939 the Tokyo-based Yomiuri Giants began to dominate, beginning the bitter rivalry between the two teams which continues today.The Tigers were extremely successful in the early years, winning championships in 1936-38, 1944 and 1947. The year 1985 is still fondly remembered by all Hanshin fans. Not only did the club win the Japan Series for the first (and so far only) time, but their first baseman Randy Bass won the Triple Crown award AND the Japan Series MVP award as well - in the process elevating himself to God-like status in the Kansai region. When the Hanshin...

Kyudo, is the Japanese art of achery

by gogonicetrip

Kyudo, literally meaning "way of the bow", is the Japanese art of archery that is a modern Japanese martial art.Kyudo is practiced as an art and as a means of moral and spiritual development. Many archers practice kyudo as a sport, with marksmanship being paramount. However, the goal most devotees of kyudo seek is seisha seichu, "correct shooting is correct hitting". In kyudo the unique action of expansion that results in a natural release, is strived for. When the spirit and balance of the shooting is correct the result will be for the arrow to arrive in the target. To give oneself completely to the shooting is the spiritual goal. In this respect, many kyudo practitioners believe that competition, examination, and any opportunity that places the archer in this uncompromising situation is important, while other practitioners will avoid competitions or examinations of any kind.
