The Seibu Lions are about to win the Pacific League in Nippon Professional Baseball for 2008. Last year, when I saw them last, they didn’t even make the playoffs. This year they seem to be headed toward their former glory years (of the late 80s when I lived in Tokorozawa and early 90s). Hopefully they will keep it up next year when I return.

My favorite player, Kiyohara Kazuhiro, is retiring this year. He recently made his retirement announcement while playing against Seibu.
