Naoto Inada Chance Music at Kamagaya (Japan Series Game 6)

For the Fighters-Giants Japan Series games taking place in Sapporo, the Fighters had a "public viewing" at their minor-league stadium in Kamagaya, Chiba Prefecture. About 600-700 people came and watched the game there, with a big screen set up outside the stadium and all of us out there in the cold, with seats and picnic tables and food stands and merchandise stands set up, and the minor-league mascot Cubby wandering around and so on. People sang the cheer songs and clapped cheersticks. It was a generally good time, except for the part where the Fighters lost.

Anyway, this is from the bottom of the 9th inning. The Fighters are down 2-0, with a runner on third, one out, and Naoto Inada is pinch-hitting. The ouendan in Sapporo were doing the Kita no Kuni Kara chance theme, so we were singing along to it as well.

Naoto walked, and you can see how excited we all got as Giants closer Kroon kept throwing balls instead of strikes!
