Chiba is at the far end of 'greater, metropolitan Tokyo'. It takes approximately 45 minutes to get there.
QVC Marine Field is fully enclosed, but for a roof, and gives one the same sort of feeling that one gets in Oakland, for an A's game.
On the 17th, my birthday, mid-afternoon, as Katherine and I were returning from a late lunch, we bumped into Paul Barnes and Jason Martin, home from their travels from 'See it All' through the ballparks of Japan. They were on their way to Saitama and a Lions-Fighters game. Their last game, on the 18th, was in Chiba for the Marines - Buffaloes. I joined them. It was a 4 hour game where one was absolutely oblivious to the time because of the game, itself, which held one absolutely captivated with its excitement and activities.
The Buffaloes won, 7-6.
The weather was superb. The fact that there was sufficient space to 'spread out' made it simply sublime.
What a fitting end to 7 baseball games in Japan, in September.....and now I will return to MLB - TV, upon my return home.
