I took a time-out during my trip to Hiroshima to catch a baseball game and some home comforts (real hot dogs!), and I've got to say I wasn't disappointed. The hometown Carp mounted a ferocious late game rally to win 8-6, but the real excitement happened in the stands. Here's a look at the frenzy from my standing position.

a ghostbuster?

seventh inning stretch - time to blow up the big pink balloons!


and then this happened


victory for the home team
