Saturday baseball

On my Saturday morning adventure, I came across something my friend Jenifer Johnston and my almost-kids Zach and Logan will appreciate!  Apparently Saturdays in Japan for teenagers and their parents are spent the same way they frequently are at home - at a baseball stadium or field for a weekend tournament!

This team was actually staying together as they crossed the street to the stadium....their coach must have some serious control over his players!

Baseball stadium for the weekend tournament!

 Mom and dad are part of the action-giving advice and helping to haul stuff!

Selling programs - 500 yen apiece

Funny to see that kids are the same everywhere (or maybe it's just baseball players!) - piles of equipment, clothes and assorted "stuff" dumped in the nearest convenient spot!
