Lions vs. Buffaloes at the Seibu Invoice Dome, September 15, 2006
 Alex Cabrera in the on-deck circle. |
 Suntory vendor boy. |
 Orix fans try to rouse up some cheering for their half of the seventh inning singing time. |
 A few lone Orix fans release balloons. |
 Minoru Yamagishi appears to pose like a ballet dancer before pitching. |
 Or maybe Yamagishi just always stands with his feet pointed inwards. |
 Eiji Mizuguchi pinch-hits for Shinji Shimoyama. He strikes out, too. |
 A ball girl gives more baseballs to the umpire. |
 Lions fans have a full compliment of balloons on their side. (Note an uninterested Karim Garcia trying to play catch amidst the song and dance.) |
 Balloons go flying! |
 Yuuki Tanaka has the ball. |
 And he's not afraid to throw it. |
