Baseball is a huge deal here in Japan! Games in America are a lot more quiet and laid back, while here they get wild! If you attend a Japanese baseball game, you may feel like you're at an American Super Bowl football game! The crowds go totally nuts for their team, and they constantly scream, chant, and sing for hours! Community bands come out (usually consisting of just trumpets) and sit in the stands to play and get rowdy! It's definitely an amazing and hilarious experience. The concession stands sell a lot of noise makers and items to help you cheer on your favorite players. Mini ball bats, mini umbrellas, whistles, and flags are just a few items you'll see. The game we saw was in Yokohama, where the BayStars play. Below I've linked a couple of videos I took of the different crowd cheers.
