I went to the Soukeisen (championship between Waseda and Keio University) a couple weeks ago. Had to be the more enjoyable baseball game I've ever been to, including the ones I participated in. The cheering is extremely well organized and energetic; I spent more time on my feet than on my ***.

Yes, it's one of the major events in Japanese baseball.
My husband used to take our son to those games, hoping that he will want to play baseball and/or want to enter Waseda... He accomplished neither...

Yeah, I think so, too!

You mean some more? She's already mentioned that she has a boyfriend (although it was in Japanese).

I also spent more time on my feet than on my behind, but when the game lasts 20 innings it gets a bit tiresome. The cheerleaders even quit using the mic at one point (around the 16th or 17th, I think it was), but they encouraged us to continue. Of course, they didn't stop cheering, either. I was really impressed with their energy. I wish I had energy like that.

Do you mean you've been to a 窶伉?団ﾂ静ｭﾂ？

Glenn · 11 Nov 2006

No, I went to a 同立戦.

By the way, how is it that Waseda and Keio play for the championship every year? No one else ever wins?

In Japan, the 窶愬停?ｹﾅｾﾋ彁窶佚･ﾅ?wﾆ椎?ﾂーﾆ丹 is the biggest and most popular college baseball league and is broadcast even by NHK. Soukei-sen is the traditional event symbolizing the archrivalry between the two top private universities, regardless of whether they are ranking at the top or bottom of the league during that year or season.

That's incorrect.

Right, Ichiro must be the most well-known player in MLB... oh and Hideki Matsui, too.

Hideki Matsui is with New York Yankees,he was reportedly regard as a catch to some sultry Japanese actresses back home.

One Japanese name comes to mind,Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle Mariners ( MLB ) has been spotlighted in American sports news for the last few years.

We were in Seattle ( Washington ) visiting family early this year,went to a local game and saw some fanatic Japanese fans ( flew over from Japan ) cheered Ichiro ... Ichiro ... Ichiro ... quite rowdy I say.

The Boston Red Sox agreed to pay $42 million just to NEGOITATE with Matsuzaka. If they sign him, it will cost them about $25 million a year (they will have to pay Matsuzaka's salary PLUS the $42 mil signing fee).

There are other Japanese players in America. Ichiro and Hideki Matsui are the most famous, but So Taguchi plays for the Cardinals, Koji Johjima is Ichiro's teammate in Seattle, and Kaz Matsui plays for Colorado. There are a few others too. Not all Japanese players have had success here. Hideki Irabu was the biggest flop and he was routinely jeered by Yankee fans who nicknamed him the "fat toad." Signing Matsuzaka for as much as it will cost the Red Sox is being seen as a huge risk since success in Japan doesn't always translate to success in America.

Irabu retired and now runs an udon restaurant in Los Angeles.
