プロ野球のひいきのチームは、地元らしく阪神が好きだ。
でもプロよりも一回の試合で白黒がはっきりしてしまう、
高校野球の雰囲気が好きで、暑い中毎年足を運ぶ。

走る球児、応援する者達、そして勝者と敗者。
そこに潔さを感じ、そして次へと成長していくチカラをもらい、
俺の夏はそんな風にして過ぎていくことが多い。

今年は入道雲が気持ちよく出てくれないのに、もう立秋を過ぎてしまった。
夏らしい夏が短いなぁと嘆く前に、既に真っ黒に日焼けした腕をどうするべきか、笑

My fav professional baseball team is Hanshin Tigers,
as i live in the city of their homeground.
But i prefer the highschool baseball tournament in summer,
since the game is held only once, and i like the point.

Winners and losers are so clear.
One cries on the other side of the ballpark
while others hop and jump on the another side of the park
with the school song played loud.

Does it sound cruel to you to give only once chance for one year?
well, but cant you say it is a responsiblity of winners to be high-souled?

and ive got a few beers on the bench,
looking at them with high-souled perspiration and sun-tanned arms and legs :P
