Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters over the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, 3-0

Aunt Kiko won some free tickets to a Fukuoka Hawks game this past weekend. She and the family weren't able to go, so she kindly passed them on to us... Sadly, the local team dropped the game 3-0 to the visitors, but it was a good time...



The team is actually the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. Softbank is the company that runs/owns Yahoo Japan, so the stadium is, of course, the Yahoo Dome.




We had some great seats, just off third base/left field.




Check out the beer man! [Not to mention they had the Chu-hi man, the bento man and the ice cream man...] But the beer man, yes, he's the one who's services I indulged.




The seventh inning stretch, "Lucky 7", tradition at the Yahoo Dome.




In a custom that should be mirrored by baseball teams around the globe, I present to you... baseball cheerleaders!
