Comments on: 2009 Tokyo Yakult Swallows Schedule http://tokyoswallows.com/2008/11/27/2009-tokyo-yakult-swallows-schedule/ An in-depth look at the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, Jingu Stadium, the Central League, and Japanese Pro Baseball Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:21:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Garrett DeOrio http://tokyoswallows.com/2008/11/27/2009-tokyo-yakult-swallows-schedule/comment-page-1/#comment-742 Garrett DeOrio Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:08:39 +0000 http://tokyoyakultswallows.wordpress.com/?p=1656#comment-742 Right, Tokyo played Seibu at the Seibu Dome after having our "home" series against them in Ibaraki (Iwaki and Hitachinaka.) Those tours work, though (at least anecdotally.) The wife of our unofficial photographer is from up that way and is a Swallows fan to this day solely because the team toured near her hometown when she was growing up. Swallows fans really outnumbered Dragons fans at our "home" series at Botchan Stadium in Matsuyama back in August. I dislike missing the games that are too far away, but I'm glad the team is doing something to help build a fan base. Thanks for reading and commenting, Rob. We'll keep this site going until we're physically incapable of it, at which point we'll wheedle someone else in picking it up.

I think the TYS home games with Seibu were off in the sticks in 2008, which seemed... wrong. Thanks for keeping the site going, guys! How nice – all the home games for interleague will be at Jingu.
