◆ Pacific League: Nippon-Ham vs. Seibu Lions (October 10th, ES CON FIELD)
Ryusei Yamada, who won a bronze medal in the men's snowboard halfpipe at the Milan-Cortina Olympics in February, threw the first baseman pitch before the game. He is from Sapporo and is a fan Nippon-Ham. He also watched the game against Orix Buffaloes on the 2nd (at Escon Stadium) and witnessed the professional baseball record of four consecutive Home Run from the first batter in the first inning.
Wearing a The Fighters uniform with number 20, pitch was a one-bounce pitch that went over the base, and he said, "It's frustrating." A huge cheer went up from the crowd, and he said, "I'm an individual athlete, so I can't do team games, which is why I respect them."
