Travel Snapshot: Baseball in Japan

Where: Tokyo, Japan
July 11, 2008 at 12:30 PM | by | Comment (1)

Flickr user ultraclay! just dropped a bunch of photos into the Jaunted Photo Pool, and we were particularly taken by this snap from a Yomiuri Giants game in Tokyo. What makes Japanese baseball so special?

The entire experience was fun and culturally very interesting, but the best part has to have been the beer girls. Unlike stadiums in the US where pisswater beer is poured and then carried around until you finally get it, warm and flat, this beer is always fresh. That's because they pour it in front of you... from a keg... on their back! Yeah, really.

Why are we still going to games in the states?

Have your own travel snapshots? We'd love to see 'em.

Japanese baseball

Yeah, but do Japanese baseball teams have cool names like the Taiwanese do?  Who can top a name like the Brother Elephants?
