I didn’t know that, either. Cool to know. Thanks, Simon.

I just stumbled upon the Jingu wikipedia page, and I never knew that the first homerun hit in the Stadium was by Biz Mackey of the visiting Negro League All Stars way back in 1927!

They have food at Koshien? Do they serve infield dirt?

Mate, it’s Red Sox fans pulling that Hanshin line out, not me. I care about the Red Sox about as much as I care about the food at Koshien.

Piss off, mate…

“Hanshin Tigers are like the Red Sox of Japan”

They actually have to win the series again to get that tag. Then they have to win again.

. . . Fenway is the greatest venue in all of sports. . .

You do mean after Jingu, right?
And you put Koshien in a headline.
Do we need to send you back to the reeducation camp?

Next thing we know, you’ll be pulling this “Hanshin Tigers are like the Red Sox of Japan” BS on us.

Anyway, welcome, officially, to the Tsubamegun. (Chris, Dave, and I will vouch for you – you’re a rookie.)
