The scene which filled me deep emotion

After the the retirement ceremony of Hideki Matsui and the National Honorary Award ceremony for Matsui and Shigeo Nagashima, and before a game, there was the impressive opening pitch ceremony.

Pitcher: Hideki Matasui
Batter: Shigeo Nagashima, (aka Mr. Giants)
Catcher: Tatsunori Hara


The combination of the tree filled me with deep emotion.

For people outside Japan or people who are not fans of Giants, it's nothing special. However, I couldn't help writing this historic moment on the blog.

(By the way, the umpire in the opening pitch ceremony is Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.)

Surprisingly, Nagashima and Matsui wear a matching suit!! Tie and shirt too!!!
