1st Day of the US

Hi!! This is Hiroshi "Morris" Morioka from Japan.

Ist of all, I am going to introduce my thing.


I am from Japan, 24 year-old.
I have been playing BASEKTBALL for 14 years.
I am going to start Marketing and Ticketing intern in your home LehighValley IronPigs.

My future dream is CHANGING JAPANESE BASKETBALL BETTER.

And, you know, the US is the most advanced country about sports industy.
So, I had decided to learn and get experience the US sports system,
because it is surely going to be useful and effective for Japanese Basketball!!!


From Tokyo to Allentown, fright took 14 hours,,,

When I had arrived at Chicago from Tokyo, I was so suspected by Immigration.
and restrained a hour in there.

Pigs broadcaster Mr. Matt Provence who is my tutor helped me, and somehow
i could get permission in there...

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!



Then, we arrived at your ballpark COCA-COLA PARK
a lot of staff were waiting to celebrate me!!!

It made me almost crying!!!
I have to say thank you from bottom of my heart!!


















Today, the 1st experience of Pigs staff and Penn stete, was awesome!!!
Everything is THANK YOU.

Team staff Matt and Jon picked me up.
A lot of team staff made big and surprise celebration to me.
Every Pigstys are friendly and welcome me.
Matt took me ball park tour.
Jon brought me to super market to buy foods.

It is sure that I could not do it by myself ever!!!!

Every Pigsty love Pigs.

They also enjoy and work hard.


I have to say thank you for everyone,

I swear I am going to my best in my life through this 3-month.

The first day of intern.
and it is 87 days left..
