And also, it was the last game for Mr. Tatsunami who is my favorite player.
He announced he would retire after this season.
The reason he said was the decline of his strength.
Although he's not been in a starting lineup recently, he's been playing an active part in the team as a pinch hitter (He always get hit in important scenes even though he only has one chance to step to the plate in one game).
However, he thinks that baseball players should be able to make hits, run, and defend.
So he thinks he can't continue playing only as a pinch hitter.
Today, he was in a starting lineup after 3 years, and he got 3 hits!!
That was amazing.
His uniform number [3] might be retired. This number is his number forever.
He's played in Chunichi Dragons for 22 years since he graduated high school!!
Thank you Mr. Tatsunami.
You are my hero.
