Thank you guys so much!!

Dice-K's old house!!

Yes!! Morris!!

Go Pigs!!

Please Go over.500!!

I am serious!!



Yeah, folks!! How are you doing??

Today, I went to Dice-K's old house (Seibu Lions).


The stadium is very new (can not compare with the Coca Cola Park though).

The capacity is 30,000 I think.

Some of my colleagues work with the Lions as promotion staffs and I met with them.




The atmosphere is different from the US one, I thought some are better and some are not.

What I can say is we should learn from each other.

It is based on culture, so I can not say which is BETTER, but we should learn each other much more.



I would like to suggest a lot of things to the Pigs and Lions.

I hope, someday, each team can be hold a meeting about promotion.


By the way,


Now, Dice-K is not so good condition...

I hope Lehigh guys can see him at the Coca Cola Park...

I wanna WATCH!!

A letter from the president of...

Yeah, Morris!! Yeah, Pigs!!

I know now the Pigs are going well!! I hope we can see the first .500 in this season!!!
