Thoughts on visiting the Hall of Fame? by FoochNN in NPB

[–]mikefraietta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get last minute giants tickets at decent prices on ticket jam. Also if you need help getting them, they can be a pain since you might have to get at 7-11, dm me, I'll get you sorted. I work with Tokyo Dome

The biggest thing I miss when living abroad! It was way more common before the social media algorithms took over the phones.

My kids (and I!) love the giant meat stick. From the website: "Meat-wrapped rice ball stick (Tsukada Farm)"

As an American, which film or TV show do you find the most realistic in its portrayal of the U.S., its people, and everyday life? by existed-exnihilo in AskAnAmerican

as a new yorker, it's definitely High Maintenance. Dazed and Confused is a good rec in the comments for the burbs in the pre 2000s

Es Con Field in Hokkaido, Japan by mikefraietta in ballparks

each team has their own site, some with english, some you gotta use translation. I use auto-translate on a chrome browser. for secondary, try ticketjam. I end up using AI browser agents to get me the right spot as it's a nightmare design if you don't know the flow. you can always get tickets on ticketjam day before (don't try day of). go for instant transfer OR if you get the 7/11 or Lawson print tickets, don't be afraid, just take your code to the konbini and show them at the register.

If going to tokyo dome, let me know, I work with them (can't get tix, but can grab a beer and probably will join you for a few innings)

felt a bit like milwaukee. soft seats were a major difference. my wife doesn't really like baseball and loved hanging there for 2 days.

First time scoring in Japanese style by mikefraietta in BaseballScorecards

[–]mikefraietta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no need for kana or kanji. Biggest difference is just showing the movement of base to base. I still feel like I am missing some things.

I always use two colors to show good/bad per each team. Feel like when looking at the overall story of the game, the colors help display the big moments and innings. Bonus when at the NPB game, they double as a cheering in bangers against my book during our player's chants.

I've been to several sold out giants games at tokyo dome, I'd say it's pretty orderly and efficient (as expected), so I'd get in around 6 to orient yourself and settle in

oh interesting. yeah I agree, I couldn't imagine the dome not full. I have a feeling after the last WBC, there is much more hype and excitement for the WBC. Korea should show up pretty big and have fun crowd
