As my userpic probably gives away, I'm a fan of the Fighters. Watching and voting this year, it seemed like there was a big push at the end for Buffaloes players. Thought I won't complain, last year for the game at Es Con Fighters fans stuffed the ballot box pretty hard. And in the end being All-Star Starter didn't turn out to be the sort of memorable evening for Sachiya Yamasaki that fans hoped. 😄
This year I was torn between Imai and Miyagi for starter. I like Imai more, but glad Miyagi got the nod. Glad to see Tatsu-kun get his first AS selection! I expected Kitayama, but it's nice to see another young Fighters arm in the mix.
I figured on Reyes, Kiyomiya, and Mannami, too. Franmil continues his long game to becoming the first Dominican-born mayor of Sapporo (I joke, but the fans LOVE him there). Glad to see so many Lions on the team, too. I'm not a Lions fan, but I have fondness for them, and I'm glad to see them turn it around this year. Plus, I hope they'll feast on Buffaloes and Hawks all season. ⚾
Last year's game at Es Con was a lot of fun - all the different Fighters uniforms on display and the whole lineup of current and former Fighters players.
Franmil is a scary hitter. Currently leading the league in HR and RBIs. Would love to see him take home MVP honors.
The Lions turnaround has been great to see. If only they didn't play their games in a sauna...
Sadly, the baseball season finishes in October and the playoffs will wrap up by the 2nd of November.
However, I recommend you check out the Hall of Fame at the Tokyo Dome. Lots of good history there.
Another option is to see the national team, Samurai Japan, take on Korea at the Tokyo Dome - two games will be played on 11/15 and 11/16! If you have any more questions or need any help, feel free to reach out.

Very nice cover pic! Now I have a question:
I’m planning a trip to Japan this November, and I’d love to have an immersive baseball experience.
Where should I go, and which game would you recommend I watch?
