Do they provide coaches to tell the men when to advance?

If the guy gets tired, do they bring in a relief pitcher?

Can four people score at once?

I'll bet pop ups occur frequently.

Now you need foreplay to hit a home run.

Are there on-deck circles for the cute girls?

Why are the seats there suddenly so sticky?

hello: Thanks for taking care of that so the rest of us don't have to think up our own baseball related puns.

"A total of 28 couples were formed". How was this evidenced?

It's supposed to be a marriage matchmaking event, but I bet some of the guys are just there to make a hit and run play.

my thoughts exactly. i doubt people will become couples after just one date. probably means 28 couples agreed to meet again for a second date.

More like a squeeze bunt.

ballparks are great places to pick up chicks in Japan, that is for sure.

Now there is more patting on the a## in the stands than there is in the field.

There is less pressure and you're not as self conscious of impressing others, especially with all the fans surrounding you at the stadium. You can be yourself and have casual conversation in a relax setting. You might hit a home run.

Great way to find women who are into sports! This could save some trouble down the line.

No, no, no. January JT said it was Christian Churches, in March JT said parks with cherry blossoms, then last month it was Shinto Shrines. Now it is ballparks. Either these stories are dug up and re-edited, as all news papers and news sites do, or there is something amiss. As in make up your minds about this subjects other than popular places of the uniquely, unique seasons in Japan. So what will it be in autumn JT?

In autumn, it will be Obon, keeping it in the family

NetteMarie : lolz... they would hook up during the dance, I presume.. yeah, what's next?? church, hanami, shrines, ballparks and the next location goes tooo~~ooooooo....... the theme park!! choose between Disney, Ghibli, or the Universal Studios.. it's really sad to see how NOW the singles are so desperate when before the girls were all about being independent, but I guess it's just the same everywhere, not only in Japan..
