Hearty bunch enjoyed Japan tour
US and Australian baseball fans watched Japanese baseball games at five stadiums from Tokyo to Hyogo. They were most impressed with Koshien!
'He enjoyed seeing the five ballparks but thought Koshien was the most impressive. "It reminded me a lot of the Polo Grounds," he said, after seeing the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles and Orix Buffaloes play there."
'Rakuten used Koshien for a series of home games because its own Kleenex Stadium in Sendai was undergoing repair for earthquake-caused damage.'
