Yesterday I went to a baseball game at the
Tokyo Dome. I saw the Yomiuri Giants play the Hanshin Tigers. I don’t watch
Japanese baseball very often because I don’t have a TV, so I can’t say who my
favorite team is. However, the Yomiuri Giants and the San Francisco Giants,
from the United States, have the same colors and very similar logos, so I cheered
for the Yomiuri Giants at the game.
I really enjoy going to live sports games
in the United States and have gone to many baseball games. I was very excited
to compare baseball in Japan to baseball in the United States. Of course, food
is very different. Japanese baseball stadiums serve snacks, but they also serve
rice bowls and bento boxes. In the United States, we serve fast food. Popular
foods are hot dogs, chicken nuggets, French fries, nachos, and peanuts.
Different baseball stadiums serve special foods too. In San Francisco, we serve
local specialties like soup in bread-bowls and Godiva chocolate ice cream
sundaes. The cheering sections in Japan are amazing too! Each baseball player
has a special cheer. We don’t have that in the United States. Instead, people
make posters for their favorite players and bring them to the game to show to
the TV cameras. Overall, the game is still the same, and I am happy to see that
Americans and Japanese people can share this sport.
