Yakyu (野球)
Japanese Little League Baseball in Tokyo
Just outside the Tokyo Dome I found these kids playing baseball (yakyu). Maybe this is an unusual sight to see in the middle of one of the world’s biggest cities. But Tokyo is no ordinary city. Perhaps the strangest thing is when this scene took place–not in summer, fall, or even spring. This kid was laying down a bunt while the runner on second sprinted for third in the middle of February.
