JBC Day at Chiba Marine - Sept 15

The "Watch Pro Yakyu" group is planning another get together at Chiba Marine Stadium for September 15. Our first get together was rained out last Sunday (August 24), but the six of us went to a nearby yakitori restaurant and talked about baseball present, past, and future.

Deanna and I have managed to get one of the picnic boxes reserved for the August September 15 (Monday - national holiday) Lotte game against the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. A picnic box is a patio with a table and some lawn chairs at the top of the first level of seats on the third base side, back above the dugout. During my tour of Chiba Marine Stadium before the season started, I swore that I'd watch a game from there the first chance I got.

Nonetheless, the picnic box comes with 5 tickets (for a total of 15,000 yen), but only 3 from our group are currently able to make this game. Before we go off inviting other friends and relatives outside the JapaneseBaseball.com community, we figured that we'd put the word out here for a couple more in the Kanto area to join the mailing list (where we discuss this sort of thing in more detail).

The Mailing List: I've set up a mailing list for people to discuss going to games. This mailing list is not specifically for this game. It's for people living in Japan who want to try to hook up with others to see a game. There are currently 7 members, including one in Kyushu, so if you're interested in going to the game in Chiba or perhaps another game at some other time, please send a message to me at my handle @japanesebaseball.com.
