A little #sbhawks history for those interested. The Hawks were formed in 1938 by the Nankai Electric Railway as the Nankai Club as part of the Japanese Baseball League (JBL). They were first based in Osaka and they adopted the Hawks moniker in 1947. 1/4

At Japanese baseball games, a familiar face, a quick greeting and a cold pour can become an essential part of the game-day ritual, with beer vendors weaving through the packed stands. 👉 ebx.sh/B6TqPz

Except Itua Ikhine was safe

Win or lose, the current SoftBank Hawks are indeed one of Japanese baseballs top dynasties. You all know No. 1. Today, I rank the rest, from the Yomiuri Giants' golden era to the current Hanshin Tigers.

I know it’s important to give your catcher rest, but #Yamamoto has been a bright spot in the #sbhawks lineup. Not sure it’s wise to break up that momentum. This is a key game where you can really put your foot on the throat of the #BayStars… #SMBC日本シリーズ

Just shipped out a couple more zines! A zine all about the joy of exploring Tokyo in new ways.
I'd be happy to make one for you, too. You can also get a digital version or make your own.
Shares appreciated!

The Nippon Series has gone into extra innings for Games 1 and 2. The last time the Nippon Series started off with two extra inning games was in 2011 when the Chunichi Dragons and Softbank Hawks did it 15 years ago
