I’m born 1964 every kid love OH, my brother born 1958 was all about Nagashima and the Giants!!! So both of us especially my brother lived through V9. When my brother and I celebrated Giants win year after year as a kid I still remember my father saying, “ but u two never saw Inao and the Nishitetsu Lions.” My mom smiling opens a bottle of beer. ( my mom used to sell beer at the old Korakuen stadium) moms side of the family lived walking distance from Korakuen, guess … she’s Giants all the way!
Koshien footages are great! The story about his dad visiting before the finals great! The bloody ball was an inspiration for Ikki Kajiwa’s story, manga and turned into anime Kyojin no Hoshi. Hoshi injures his throwing thumb nail dusting the semi in Koshien.
