Awesome video dude!!! I fell asleep before the end. I posted video from earlier in the game. I had to watch I think the Korean language stream here in the US. The HD feed from Japan was too choppy.

I love the Carp. Here in America I love the Phillies. I hope Darvish ends up with the Phillies BTW.

@spikerogan Yeah Darvish is outta here eh? I think maybe even Kawasaki might leave too...Personally I think some of them should stay here but I guess once you've done it all here they wanna go the next step. Japan has some great baseball blood I tell yeah.

You know this series was amazing. Hawks lost both games at home so they were down 0-2 in the series. Then they went to the Dragons home field down and most of thinking are they done. But they came back and won all 3 games over there. Game 6 was a loss on our home field so the series was all tied 3-3. Then game 7 was ours and the whole city is going to go nuts now!! What a great year for baseball with the Cardinals and now the Champion Hawks!

Thanks for sharing the video! I am originally from Fukuoka and currently live outside Japan. I was glad to see the winning moment, and happy for the first winning since Akiyama san became a manager of Softbank Hawks.

@ang431103 Yeah it's great to see Akiyama win it because he's always going to be under OH until he wins something. Love my city Fukuoka....

@AstrosMan513 I'm sure if you go the gift shop they'll have lots of Championship Hawks stuff.
