In April we were lucky enough to get tickets to a professional baseball game given to us by our good friend and professional baseball player, Rick Short. We had never met Rick but I had talked to his wife often on facebook and though we didn't know each other well in high school we had the bond of living in Japan. Rick left us tickets at the Japanese version of a will call window which we were escorted to once someone understood we had tickets saved for us by a player. We went and watched the Rakuten Eagles play the ....... We were joined by our friends the Bryants and the highlight for Kim and I was getting our picture taken with Sumo wrestlers. Unfortunately the Eagles lost but we enjoyed the roller coaster at the Tokyo Dome and a nice evening of adult dinner before heading back home on the train.
