I do not think that I am a big fan of baseball although I do not think I hate
it. Nevertheless, I watched the Japan series in a row for the first time in my
life. This was because my elder son, Yuto, was really into the final series.
The Softbank Hawks got the Japan title. As a matter of fact, their victory was
almost expected, but I was surprised at the way that they won. The Yomiuri Giants were
miserably defeated without winning only one game, as seen in the previous year.
I have never thought that there was a huge difference in the baseball between
the Pacific League and the Central League. The best members selected from the
whole Central League might not fight well against the Softbank Hawks.
