Saitama Seibu will host the games against Fukuoka Softbank from Friday, April 18th to Sunday, April 20th as part of the "The Lions 75th Anniversary Series."

On Friday the 18th, The Lions manager during their golden age, Mr. Mitsuaki Mori, as well as former players Mr. Hironori Ishige, Mr. Yoshitaka Katori, and Mr. Hatsuhiko Tsuji will attend the ceremony and hold a talk show. Also on the same day, BBM cards (baseball cards) with a design commemorating the 75th anniversary will be distributed to all visitors.

At the game on the 19th (Sat), Fujiya's mascot character "Peko-chan", who is celebrating her 75th anniversary just like The Lions, will be wearing The Lions 75th anniversary jersey and will be appearing in the ceremonial pitch and in-between inning events. On the day, all visitors, except for some seats, will be given a "The Lions 75th anniversary jersey" with "Peko-chan" designed on the right sleeve and a "5-grain Milky (The Lions 75th anniversary)" in The Lions original package. In addition, if you apply on the day through Saitama Seibu Lions official LINE, you can participate in a photo session with Peko-chan after the game on a first-come, first-served basis.
