Double wins

The Hanshin Tigers won the Japanese Baseball Championship. In addition, Sota Fujii, a professional shogi player, achieved the complete victory in the eight titles.


The last time the Hanshin Tigers won the championship was in 1985, when I was a senior in high school. Yoshiharu Habu, a shogi legend and the current CEO of the Shogi Association, won all seven titles in 1996, when I was about to finish my first internship as a doctor. It was a long time ago, but I still remember both of them.

I can't say that I am an avid Hanshin fan (although I do like shogi), but these two events are an incredibly great moments for me. I won't forget them.

I look forward to experiencing more of these great events in the future.
