Japanese baseball

Thanks for that enlightening post! Do they know "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" there? You could probably win points for teaching them that one if they don't know it. Also, I wish I could remember one of the first anime series I ever saw was about a couple of ninja clans that also played baseball and had quite the rivalry on the field...that would be fun to see again. Oh man, that reminds me, I would love to have a ballcap with the Seibu Lions mascot on it (Kimba the White Lion) If you see one and can afford it, could you pick me up one and I'll reimburse you for it when you get back? I think my head would be a Japanese Extra-Huge...
