Nationals outfielder Gerardo Parra (34), who played for the Giants last season, made a major comeback against Mets on June 20th (21st Japan time). He participated in 47 games as a giant, with a batting average of 20%, 6 minutes, 7 home runs, 4 home runs, and 13 RBIs, and returned to the United States in October last year for treatment of right knee pain. After undergoing surgery, he signed a minor contract with the Nationals in February and took the major stage for the first time in two years.

When I saw the news of the return, I remembered what happened before the Japan Series with Softbank last year. Even after returning to the United States, Parra reported on the post-operative situation with photos to the group LINE, in which coach Hara and other leaders and one army player also participate, as if to show their feelings for the team. Ale was sent from Director Hara and Head Coach Motoki, and he worked hard to rehabilitate.

There is a later story about this story. During the battle, he continued to send ale to his teammates. Check the match with Softbank even if there is a time difference. I infused the fighting spirit into my companions who were in trouble. In 1919, the year before the Giants transfer, he won the World Series at the Nationals. Even if I didn’t stand on the ground, I just delivered my thoughts in letters.

In the return match against Mets, the fans packed into the stand were seen dancing shark dance happily to the song “BABY SHARK”. Even giants sell related goods such as “shark gloves” and “finger sharks”. I missed the sense of unity of the stand by dancing because it was a style that was in line with the new style.[Professional baseball team = Kengo Kubo]
