This week, there has been a series of surprises in baseball.
The morning after I wrote about Shizuoka High School, I was astonished to see the game list on NHK.
I was stunned to see the name of Tohoku Gakuin as the representative of Miyagi Prefecture in the fourth game.
As I have already mentioned, when I was a student at Sendai Ni High School, the school did not have a hardball team. It was a typical Christian school for boys, where the children of the old established families, such as the Date Clan, attended.
When this high school established a hardball team, they decided that Mr. K was the only one who could coach the team, so my eldest brother was the manager for a long time, from when it established the team until a while ago. 
So, not long after, I received a call from my sister.
I will talk about this later, but just now, I was surprised when I tried to confirm the relationship between this high school and Toson Shimazaki.
Oshikawa Masayoshi, the founder of this high school, was also Miyagi Gakuin, a famous school for young ladies in Sendai.
It is no wonder that Tohoku Gakuin and Miyagi Gakuin were very close.

Finally fully recovered from the adverse reaction, I woke up this morning at around 8:15 a.m., having had a good eight hours of sleep.
I woke up around 8:15 a.m. I looked at the TV in the living room and saw that the recording lamp was on.
“I thought, “What’s going on at this hour? I thought and watched the recording.
It was the Yankees vs. the White Sox, and I remembered that I had recorded it last night when I tried to record Ohtani’s game on Sky Perfect.
The Yankees game is one of the ones I like to watch the most, but neither NHK nor SKY PerfecTV is broadcasting it this year because Tanaka left the team.
I thought about paying a yearly fee from the MLB website to watch all the games, but I gave up because there was a time when I spent but couldn’t watch the games.
The problem with Sky Perfect is that you can’t record overlapping programs simultaneously, and you can’t watch other programs while recording.
Yes, I want to watch my first Yankees game of the year, and I want to see Rizzo, a significant player for the Chicago Cubs and has been playing even more remarkably after being traded to the Yankees in a foudroyant trade.
I was also surprised to learn that he was sidelined with a corona infection.
I also want to see Otani pitch against Guerrero Jr.
So I decided to record the Yankees game from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and stop recording when Otani’s game started.
When I watched the game from the beginning, I was surprised and impressed.
It is the essence of Major League Baseball, proof that the United States is a true world leader in a country where the turntables of civilization are turning.
Every baseball fan in the world must have seen “Field of Dreams” starring Kevin Costner at least once.
Major League Baseball built the ballpark that appeared in the movie for this occasion, right near that ballpark.
Major League Baseball games are not played in Iowa, where there is no Major League Baseball team.
When Kevin Costner came out, I instantly understood what was going on: MLB is superb, the US is astounding.
Just like in the movie, the Yankees players come in from the cornfield in the outfield. As I write about this scene now, I can’t help but be moved to tears.
Omission.
The game itself was even better than the movie.
In the eighth inning, the White Sox, aiming to win the World Series this year, brought out Kimbrel, whom they had acquired in July.
The Yankees were trailing 7-4 in the last inning, and their opponent was Hendrix, the absolute best closer in the game.
Judge hit his second home run of the day to make it 7-6, and Gallo, acquired from the Rangers in July, reached base on four pitches.
The batter was Stanton! I said with conviction that a home run was about to pop out at that moment. After four pitches, Stanton smacked the first pitch.
The White Sox left fielder jumped, and for a moment, it looked like he caught the ball, but he collapsed in a heap.
It was an unbelievable game on its own.
The Yankees’ absolute closer, fastball pitcher Chapman, was out with a left elbow injury.
Still, it was Britton who came on.  
But he has been pitching erratically since coming to the Yankees.
It cut down the first batter he faced in good shape. 
Just when I thought he was going to get it done, he did.
He went 0-2 with a pair of balls and a walk.
The next batter was the last year’s first-place hitter, in other words, a good hitter.
Just as I thought he would hit it, he hit the first pitch of the game into the right-field bleachers for a game-ending home run.

As the commentators said, “This game is more than a movie. If it were a movie with a plot like this, it would be too good to be nominated for an Academy Award.
