High School Baseball 2
Ah, the summer baseball season. Crowds of students cheering on their teams, teenage players relying on their classmates for moral support. It’s good fun, sometimes taken far too seriously. (Take for instance the insanely militant, formal, ritualized cheering style…) Here is a quick video clip and fourteen photos of my latest field trip; a cheering outing to keep our team’s spirit up as they played in the big stadium in the capital. They lost 4 to 1, but they had a blast, and we had fun too. It’s a huge stadium, and the schools simply can’t fill the stands. It makes things a little bit eerie, actually. But still, it’s a great experience. Good season, Hakata. Better luck next year!
