... in fact there was, as the rain continued to plague much of Japan. " Honjitsu Chushi " (now out) recited the signs adjacent stage. Patience is not the first time it happens. Quite the Senbatsu a referral is the minimum duty to pay just to play in a tournament at the turn of winter and spring. Then one day everything shifted. So cameras sporting the NHK TV off and a lot of stop-gap programs. Instead, newspapers are still talking about an incident occur (and that of many rather unpleasant) that happened after the first race of the second day. The meeting was between the Kaisei of Shimane and Koyo Wakayama.
A brief presentation of the two teams can help you better understand the implications of the affair: the Koyo Wakayama is one of three schools that are Nishinomiya revenue from so-called back entrance, which is only at the invitation of the Federation. Among other things the call in question broke a long fast of Senbatsu that schools in Wakayama lasted 36 years!
rear entrance, but it is still a school that boasts two victories at Koshien remote in August and twenty total investments between summer and spring. From the seventies onwards, the darkness, until the "repechage" of last January because of the frequent volunteer work and service that has distinguished the college. Series, "you're welcome because of the good guys ... but for you, now, baseball has become an unknown entity."
other hand, the Kaisei Shimane, also school from ancient traditions, who attended six times and once a summer Koshien Senbatsu, albeit without achieving extraordinary results. But this year it seemed that was the right time to add a nice brick wall in its history. Kaisei is no coincidence that the recent tournament managed to win the Autumn Chugoku block, true barometer of the health and strength squad, defeating the likes of Koryo and armored Kanzei. So, with these conditions was almost a duty assumed edition bubbly for the children of Shimane.
comes the day of the draw and the captains are caught each other. Upon hearing the news, the coach Kaisei is no longer in the skin: a stroke of luck as well, also in a relatively short tournament, the entry is already a foretaste of the second round. The environment of Shimane things worse and take for granted the next round. In fact, all assume that would end that way. Footballing speaking, it's like dealing with a team of A against C, in normal conditions there is no game. But here we are at Koshien and "normality" is a term that often loses its meaning. In fact ... read a bit ' what happened here!
The real "nasty business" happens later, during the usual post-race interviews. Naomichi Nonomura , coach of Kaisei , speaks to reporters about the game and is expressed in these terms: "For our part an allowance is means only one thing that coach ... , that is myself, is a perfect incompetent. I really want to drop everything. I cut my belly (text, delivered to the very concept of "harakiri !) . I would die (textual !) . I want to cut the bridges with the baseball he could not bear the same experience twice shame. Indeed, I do not want to talk about baseball until field. Losing against a guest of the last hour is a disgrace that will keep me in all my life ... . Now, I understand that here the spirit of dedication, the exaggerated sense which assumes any responsibility subjective and an obsession for victory disturb the dreams of many people. But the shot in question these days is excessive for even the most conservative public opinion.
The next day (yesterday) you open the curtain that usually accompanies this kind of shoot: Opponents say they rightly injured, humiliated and sad for those words out of place, the Federation reserves the right to verify the statements of coach promising justice left and right. The coach, now in the spotlight and pressed by the school, is quick to correct the shooting saying that he did not mean to offend nobody and nothing, but only externalize his great sorrow for the unexpected defeat. Nonomura adds that the euphoria linked to the benevolent and draw the public in Shimane blowing on the fire had convinced him that the game would have been a breeze. After all, the Kaisei had dominated the Chugoku block. So much for the walk!
Yesterday good Nonomiya has remade live in Nishinomiya to present his apology to the federation. Crew cut, tinted glasses, gray suit, impractical tie 'fantasy' on camincia black and white leather shoes. She seemed dressed like a yakuza seventies. When fogies of the Federation have to understand the gravity of his words (and probably the extent of his punishment), they say that the coach both burst into tears. You do not forgive even the athletes surprised to suck a cigarette, let alone one that should set the example.
For the "nice" cinquantottenne promises to be therefore an inevitable early retirement. Unlikely that the school's renewal of the contract, being the entity responsible for the fact that we put the face and also the most exposed to fool remedied. Deep down, I remain convinced
Shimane that those who have experienced feelings similar to those of coach have been few, especially among his peers . But certain things should be flat to a mentality far, that should have been buried. I say should, because it will be also changed in recent decades, but in some ways Japan still remains a country unique. It remains to be seen how the team will take the boys, as the coach at this level is seen as a kind of second father.
