Izumo Goes to Koshien

I went to watch the final of Shimane high school baseball taurnament today. Izumo high school won over Risshodai Shonan and advanced to Koshien for the first time in their history. Izumo is a public school and it was the first time in 12 years for public schools to go to summer Koshien. 

Almost every audiences there seemed to cheer Izumo high school. That was a great advantage for the team. I was sorry for Risshodai Shonan high school then.

PL Gakuen

Japan's high school baseball giant PL Gakuen team has vanished. Only 12 seniors were in their last game this summer. They didn't have sophomores and juniors because PL had stooped recruiting new players any longer. 

The glorious baseball team won seven Koshien titles and has provided many professional baseball players. 

What happened to PL Gakuen? One of the reasons might be violences in the team. Sometimes, violence cases bitween students were reported. Graduates often said that they had a very strict rule that juniors had to obey seniors with no reasons. If so, the vanishment would be a deserved result.

Class Reunion

I took part in a class reunion party on Saturday. Some friend has become grandfather and some friend has survived from a cancer surgery. Good things happen, bad things happen. 

Twenty years after graduated from high school, we started this class reunion. Since then we have been holding this party ever year. I think I have such a good friends.
