Today’s Interleague Games
I’m watching Hiroshima vs Seibu on the NPB Live page if anyone wants to join me. When I turned on the game, it struck me that Hiroshima and Seibu played each other in the 1986 Japan Series. Then I realized that yesterday I watched Hanshin vs Lotte, and they played in the 2005 Japan Series. And it turns out that we’ve seen all of today’s interleague matchups except one in previous Japan Series’.
- Seibu vs Hiroshima, 1986
- Hanshin vs Lotte, 2005
- Nippon Ham vs Chunichi, 2006 & 2007
- Orix vs Yakult, 2001 (Yakult vs Kintetsu) & 1995 (Yakult vs Orix)
- Yomiuri vs SoftBank, 2000 (when the Hawks were still owned by Daiei)
- Yokohama vs Rakuten… I think it will be a while before we see this one

This will be the first NPB game I have watched live this year, with the exception of half a game yesterday. Maybe I’ll go to bed in the middle if Hiroshima is losing.

It’s amazing how many Carp fans there are in attendance at the Seibu Dome. It looks like a Carp home game.

Wonder what the probability of this happening is (Rakuten throws a wrench into the whole thing tho)

The Carp and Lions also hooked up in the 1991 Series, the last time the Carp appeared in the Series.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t think of that one.
