Hey all, throughout December (and possibly into January) I'll be putting out brief history videos on all 12 NPB teams. The next video will be on the Hanshin Tigers. My Patreon: / gaijinbaseball My Twitter: / gaijinbaseball
Nice choice of "We Are" at the end - that was Oka's first game as a Marine! I think fans generally think of the 2010 title as Nishmura's - he managed to pull the team together down the stretch. Had to win the last 3 to even make the Climax then had to win all those road games to make the NS. No small feat!
The Orions early NPB success only to become a bunch of rag tag wanderers until finally settling in Chiba and becoming the Marines is an odd yet interesting story, especially with regards to how Lotte manages the squad. Loving this series so far, Gaijin Baseball.
Eagles fan here regress.. But respect to Marines fans to manage to make games in Marine stadium very lively, albeit how freezing it might be at night in that Big Donut.
@@GaijinBaseballyou are most impressive. As a Japanese, your dedication toward NPB is highly commendable, and thanks for disseminating our version of National pastime to the world.
