NOTE: THE LAST 30 SECONDS of the video is the ACTUAL BALLOON ATTACK.. the rest is the lead up
Hanshin Tigers 7th Inning Balloon Attack 阪神タイガース七回攻撃 - Hanshin Tigers vs. Hiroshima Carp 2010.09.25 at the infamous Koshien Stadium!
This was my first ever professional baseball game I've watched. In Canada, baseball is not really in the top tier of sports popularity but in Japan, baseball reigns supreme and the entire region around this team consists of die-hard hanshin tigers fans. Despite varying degress of success, this teams has really captured the hearts and minds of residents for decades. In the 7th inning, to kick off the attack, fans release thousands of whistling balloons (although I hear this was originally a tactic from the Hiroshima Carp fans)
Those balloons... I've seen something like that in health class... What did they call those cells now? =P
