Chapter 18 Japan League

Once, a male friend with whom I have a good relationship said to me: "Here are two tickets for the Japanese baseball league. Would you like to watch it?" I asked, "Hey? Which team is playing against which team?" My friend had already taken the ticket out of his pocket, but after hearing what I said, he hurriedly took it back. I asked: "What's wrong?" "Oh, even the Japanese baseball league asks 'which team is playing against which team'. It's a pity to give her a ticket." Hearing what he said, I felt more and more that "we must get a ticket."I struggled for a long time, and finally got a ticket.The game takes place in Korakuen.When I arrived at the stadium on time, the stadium was already full of spectators.It was my first time at a baseball stadium, and the man I was watching with was late due to work.If I were to talk about my impressions of watching a baseball game for the first time, it would be that when I was watching TV, I was quite clear about which side was on offense and which side was on defense, but when I watched it live, I couldn’t tell at all. .I watched quietly for a while, but I didn't know which side was hitting the ball at all, and I felt very boring.So, I asked the uncle sitting next to me:

"Excuse me, which side is batting now?" The uncle was taken aback. He looked at me, his mood suddenly turned bad, and said: "Giants!" After finishing speaking, the uncle grabbed a salesperson and shouted: "beer!" I looked at it for a while, and felt that the field was chaotic, and the offensive and defensive positions were changed for a while, and the pitcher was replaced for a while. I couldn't figure out which side was hitting the ball, so I asked the uncle next door: "Sorry to bother you again, which side is hitting the ball now?" After the uncle drank the beer, his face was red, he glanced at me again, and shouted as if losing his temper:

"Giants!" Then the uncle called again: "Hey! Beer!" My companion arrived late, and I, like the uncle and just now, have been sitting side by side watching, one is bewildered while the other is getting more and more drunk. During this period, I do not know who successfully completed a home run.The Korakuen Stadium, which had a somewhat dull atmosphere, suddenly boiled.I cautiously asked the uncle sitting next to me: "Oh... just now, who hit the home run?" At this time, the uncle was already drunk and swayed back and forth, his voice tinged with tears: "It's King! King! Giants! Here, get a beer!"

Since then, every time I pass Korakuen, I will think of that uncle.Uncle managed to get tickets to the Japanese league, but because he was sitting next to me, he ended up getting very drunk.The uncle is unattractive and looks like he has no other hobbies.Although I have always been said to have forgotten the word "reflection" in my mother's stomach, whenever I think of the voice and figure of my uncle calling "Hey! Beer", I will be very sad.For this reason, I have never been to a baseball field since then.
