章 197: Before the Game (1)

The trip was rather uneventful, even bordering harmonious as the 6 boarded the train and headed towards the stadium. After the initial awkwardness, Chris and Tetsu seemed to be getting along well, bonding over baseball.

"Eh!? You played over in America?" Tetsu exclaimed in shock, his loud voice attracting attention from other passengers on the train.

Chris nodded, feeling some pride swell.

"I played in High School before I returned to Japan for college." 

The two continued to chat, talking about the differences between the two countries baseball programs. Ken breathed a sigh of relief, he wasn't sure how things would go, but since the two shared a love for baseball he should have never doubted his fathers ability to talk about the subject.

The train was rather packed, with plenty of passengers wearing the Yokohama Warriors jersey's to show their support.
