Last year, when Wladimir Ballantien set the Japan home run record, all controversy surrounded a lively ball. This year, it seems to me, the ball is a hell of a lot livelier.
We saw Willy Mo Pena and Andruw Jones hit two in the rain out game in Sendai on Thursday. The Jones shot was a real long blast.
Yesterday at the Tokyo Dome, there were 4 home runs, including a grand slam in the Carp's 10-3 rout of the Giants (to hell with the Yomiuri Giants - I dispise them as I dispise the NY Yankees!). Is it a lively ball -even more so- this year??
This trip has been a welcome change of pace/environment from the tax work I left and will return to. Emails are out of control - far more coming in than I can ever hope to keep up with.....but then, this happens every year and has been like this since the late 1990s during tax season.
The hardest thing is to find the time to do tax article writing - especially with only a couple of days left of this trip - true, I need to do a little each day but at the cost of ruining a vacation for me and my girls???
