When attending a baseball game in Japan, one must experience the food in tandem with the action on the field! Japan is world-renowned for putting a lot of thought, effort, and quality into its cuisine… and the ballparks are no exception! There is a lot of great food besides what we have for you here,…
Games 44-46 vs Giants: Sweep, Win Streak Reaches 8! #Hanshin #Tigers #阪神タイガース #HTEN #虎穴虎子
Not only did the Hanshin Tigers bats pulverize the Swallows pitchers to the tune of 19 runs at Jingu Stadium, but they did so late in games to: The winning streak is now at five, and the team has won 12 of its last 13 games. Look at that record, folks… let’s push for another…

The weather in Hiroshima was not great this week. The farm boys had a road trip out that way, too, and had two games called due to rain. The top squad only did a half-game better. Tuesday’s game was played to completion (and what a game it was!), but Wednesday got called before it even…
A new season is upon us, folks! It is always exciting when Hanshin Tigers baseball is on the telly every day, and we can enjoy seeing our heroes doing what they do best. Going up against the weaker half of the Baystars’ rotation helped. They did not have Imanaga ready, and injuries to Ohnuki and…
