Japan Baseball Opens To Relief And Cheer
AGAINST a backdrop of the deadly earthquake and tsunami and worsening radiation leak, the Japan Pro Baseball season opened to relief, empathy and cheers with the Rakuten Eagles beating the Chiba Lotte Marines 6-4 in Chiba yesterday.
The Eagles' home of Sendai was one of the hardest hit by last month's earthquake and tsunami. An earthquake in Chiba early yesterday and another felt in the stadium during the game didn't deter the 22,525 hardy fans who gathered at QVC Marine Field for the Pacific League opener.
Local TV showed people in shelters watching the game, before which there was a moment of silence, and each fan in the Chiba cheering section held up signs of support for the disaster areas which said, "Stay Strong Japan."
