Anyone been to Japanese baseball match? Is it something you’d genuinely be stoked to get a photo at? Like it’s not Camp Nou
Perhaps surprisingly, baseball is actually Japan's number one sport. It has a pretty big following, and from friends who have been to Japan the stadium experience was great.

It’s fun to experience - it’s very very noisy. Constant chanting, drums, etc. The stadiums are very compact compared to footy and pretty much always full.

You have to actually like baseball though. It’s growing on me as my son started playing and really loves it. Still not quite sold, it can be slowww.

Edit: best thing is you don’t have to leave your seat to get a beer. Girls stand at the bottom of the seating bays with a kind of esky slung over their neck. You just raise your hand and they come and deliver a nice cold super dry for about 5 bucks.

Good to see Luke McDonald helping out too.

To be fair Japanese baseball, by around next week or just thereafter, will have produced the only man in history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season. So I imagine it's a sport that while already popular is only going to grow over the next few years
