The summer Koshien - a prelude
The Kōyaren (the federation of Japanese baseball in high school) about two weeks ago has issued official guidelines that will address some of the big summer tournament to be held as usual at Koshien Stadium.
49 participants have been confirmed classical (one for each prefecture and two additional representative to the populous clusters of Tokyo and Hokkaido), whereas the beginning was brought forward by one day from the traditional one. So the Koshien opens August 7 and the next day ...
the draw that will determine the pairings for the first round is set for Aug. 4 to Geijutsu Bunka Center in Kobe, beginning at 16h00 and broadcast live on NHK. This time it will be a draw for free, with no stake in the division two blocks east-west which is usually divided the country. So there will be an attractive opportunity to see the regional derby immediately. The only tax that will be in the first round the two sisters of Tokyo and Hokkaido will not collide with each other.
Another provision covers the traditional series of friendlies in late summer between a student selection and age-matched Japanese Americans. That will see four games in front of the best high school students who have just participated in the Koshien (a sort of national youth improvised) and a representative from the stars and stripes high school. The stage
be held as usual in a place by the end of August the American and last about a week. This time the choice has affected the town of Compton, about twenty miles south of Los Angeles, California.
Above I have included a photo of last year's poster, complete with a slogan "we love baseball !
for a diploma of the third year would be chosen to be the icing on the cake and shut up in a triumphant high school career. Especially since the trip includes a number of extra trips in some of the legendary sports theme parks Americans yearned for by local youths. A good reason to try to distinguish themselves in the big league.
