Did you know SHINJO had retired from baseball? He was not so great as a baseball player, but was extremely memorable. His last game was Nippon Series, Japanese equivalent of World Series. His team, Nippon Ham, won the series for the first time in forty four years. He closed his career with the big victory. He commented on this impressive ending ''like a fiction story in cartoon''. I think so, too.
This is weeping SHINJO. I took it. I did it. I took the photo in the last inning of the last game. This pic has to be extremely rare because he has never stopped smiling and entertaining people. Many people must have been surprised to witness the scene.

why fight ham?
...what did pork ever do to Japan?
Hi anonymous,
>ham?
No. It's not pork. The ham in the team name refers to person whose hobby is radio (amateur radio operator). There is an obvious link between baseball and radio-wave, you know. Now the team name must make perfect sense for you. I hope that helps.
