Baseball--Japanese Style!



About half of our group went to the Seibu Dome to see the Seibu Lions play the Nashin Tigers. The Lions won. Instead of the 7th inning stretch, fans all get these long balloons that are the colors of their team and they blow them up. When their team gets the last out, the fans all slowly let the air out at the same time so it makes this hissing sound. Then when the air is nearly out of the balloons, all the fans let them go so the balloons are all hissing and wriggling around in the air at once and everyone cheers and goes nuts. In the picture you can see all the yellow and white balloons, the colors of the Tigers.
