Japan High School Baseball Championships

We watched the high school baseball playoffs at work all week. The games were held during the day so work was always put on hold to watch. Okinawa gradually made it through the playoffs and into the championship game where they routed Saitama, a city north of Tokyo, 9-0. This picture reminded of me of something you would see in a western Caribbean country, everybody in the neighborhood gathered around one television cheering together:

I watched the entire nine innings while standing on this stairwell.
