Kanto Gakuin ....Jingu!!!!

An Old Newspaper Clipping

An old clipping from the days of Kanto Gakuin taken from the Yomiuri newspaper. They year before they got to the Semi-final and lost to Waseda after beating Shikoku Uni. In the game after this ,they lost to
Tohoku Fukushi Uni. in a very close game. But chance Yoshiki 's photo was shown.

HALF-TIMBER PUBS

Indigo Socks won the second game and lost the first.
Yoshiki got a hit in both games and stole base twice.
That makes 9 so far this season. He does not strike out so much recently but is grounding out too much.
I always tell him to hit the ball harder but it seems he has been told not to
go for big hits. He is capable of hitting home runs. But maybe we won't
see any this year again.

Close game but......

4-1 and one sacrifice bunt today. The weather is getting warmer and hopefully as last year Indigo Socks will start to win.

Station Street , Keswick. My cousins shop is next to 'Peter Rabbit and Friends' and the shop with the light green shop front was my grandmother's confectionery and tobacco shop.

BLUEBELLS IN MAY

ANOTHER LOSS ! PULL YOUR INDIGO SOCKS UP1

YOSHIKI- ONLY ONE TIMELY HIT TODAY.
BUT HE HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO PLAY FOR THE ISLAND LEAGUE TEAM
THIS WEEK TO PLAY SOFT BANK HAWKS AT THE BOCHAN STADIUM.
I HOPE HE CAN STAND OUT!

LIVERPOOL WIN THE FA CUP!!!

Football V Baseball

The football match between Japan and Scotland is on at the moment.
0-0 after 45 minutes. As usual the TV coverage is poor. At the beginning of the progamme Scotland were shown to be a team that foul alot. Japan were made to look heroes. The commentators can not use English properly (middle shoot, centering is not correct English)and it makes them sound foolish. They are extemely biased and support their own team.Is this fair?
The word 'sport' means fair, as in fair play. In baseball ,especially in the Shikoku League there is a great sense of fair play. The supporters show respect for the opposing team in baseball and applaud each other.I think football in Japan has alot to learn from the manners of baseball. I am an England supporter and come from England. Football comes from my country but it is completely different from what I am watching now. I do have the choice of turning the sound off though after all,don't I?
