Czech salute to Japan “The best baseball fan in the world” Continued exchanges after WBC “heartwarming” | Full-Count

Letters and presents after the tournament… The Czech Baseball Association says “thank you” in Japanese

The Czech Republic national team who participated in the WBC in March won the hearts of Japanese fans with their refreshing sportsmanship. Even after the tournament, he received letters and gifts from Japan, and the Czech Baseball Association wrote in Japanese, “Thank you very much.”

“Japanese people are the best baseball fans in the world. We received a lot of support from them at the first WBC held in Tokyo. I am very moved by the gifts and letters I received.I received Japanese sweets, a rubber bracelet, a letter of thanks, and an unchanging desire to support Czech baseball.”

The Czech national team belongs to the same pool B as Japan in the first round. On March 11, he played against Samurai Japan, scoring one point in the first inning against pitcher Aki Sasaki. They won their first match against China, but after that they lost three games in a row and were eliminated.

With the WBC as a starting point, the fans are also deeply moved by the interaction that continues even after the tournament is over. “Baseball is romantic.” “Heartwarming.” I want to!” and “I think the future of Czech baseball is bright!”
