High school baseball

My little son, my wife, and I went to a baseball stadium called Koshien to watch a game of the Japanese high school baseball championship in summer.

It was a fine weather without any cloud in the sky, as you can see (some clouds can be shown though). To be honest, it was too hot to watch a baseball game outdoors. My skin got red and hurt after the game, but I was satisfied because my elder son's high school won the game. The victory, however, did not surprise us because his school is considered one of the teams that would come in first place in the competition.

This is my first visit to the Koshien stadium for the first time in three or four years. I do not think that I am a big fan of high school baseball, which is very popular in Japan and some are crazy about it, like my Dad, but I have plans to get there again in order to root for the team.

Now, the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic games are also going on, and proudly, Japanese athletes have achieved great results including 6 gold medals, 1 silver medal, and 10 bronze medals so far. How fantastic they are. They have been pouring energy into everything and everyplace in Japan.

Not to mention that I have been so excited about sports this summer.
