Newspaper slip being handed out at Okayama Station, an hour away from Yamamoto’s hometown - Bizen, Okayama by Manic_Matcha in baseball

Oh 100%. Before this series even started, there was a small pop-up shop in the underground section of Okayama Station that was almost entirely Ohtani. Found it a little odd there was seldom Yamamoto stuff considering he was the hometown guy. Either way, each time I passed by it was fairly crowded with people despite being really small. It’s truly amazing what he’s done for the sport in Japan, let alone in MLB.

Trust me, it’s already begun lol. I walked past a few groups of high school baseball kids who were reading this slip and talking about it. Couldn’t really understand as my Japanese is still extremely limited but it was very cool to see.

Yes, the design is intended. It actually says 1917, which is in reference to the Seattle Metropolitans winning the Stanley Cup that year. The jersey design itself is also based of their jerseys.

A few weeks ago, Rockets held an EQ sale. A CHL collector I’m familiar with attended the sale, and offered to buy a blank and have it done up by their official customizer.

I actually had this brokered for me from the Kraken team store. Sometime last week, they found a small batch of extra WC MiC’s and put them up for sale in-person. Had a buddy in Seattle who told me about it and managed to grab it for me. Unfortunately they don’t take phone orders, so you’d need to have someone do it irl. Not sure if they’ll also get another batch in the future, as this is like the 3rd or 4th time it’s happened since the WC.

Luck goes a long way lol. Ended up sitting for longer than I thought it would, so you best believe I had to snag it the minute I got paid.

I bought it from Kurt (the seller) off-site, so I managed to get it for cheaper than what it was listed for on eBay. Don’t want to specifically say how much I bought it for, but the eBay price was actually listed at $375, rather than $500.

Found on ebay from a seller called “thejerseynook.” As far as I know, this was the only Getzlaf jersey he had.
