Osaka Buffalos Game

 

 

 

 In all its umm..glory...Osaka Dome where the Buffaloes Play

 

No zooming on this one--yes we were this far away!

 

 Their version of Diamond Vision.

 

 A fairly normal looking scoreboard--note, they list strikes before balls.

 

 Don't ask me what it says, I have no idea but that's what the scoreboard switches to during an AB

 Instead of a 7th Inning Stretch they blow up and release these balloons. Apparently a tradition started eons ago by the Giants and followed by some now.

 

 VILE! That is the Osaka Dome version of a Hot Dog. It is indeed some type of meat with curry and relish in it--catsup, mayo and mustard on top. That was George's--there was no way I was eating it.

 The section where fans of the Nippon Ham Fighters sit.

 

 The concession stands sell these plastic bats which fans beat together throughout the game.
