On Friday, the first regular baseball games of the season began in Japan. The baseball season has also started in the U.S. Baseball fans in both countries are excited because they can watch their favorite players in action. There were pre-season games last month, but the results of those games weren’t important. My favorite team, the Chunichi Dragons, were doing very well then, but now they are in last place. At the top of list in the Central League are the Yakult Swallows. They have won two games and tied one. At the top of the Pacific League list are three teams including the Softbank Hawks. They have won two games and lost one. So far, the Dragons haven’t won any regular games, but it’s still early in the season. Go Dragons!
