As a crazy baseball fan, I am always looking for the things which relate to baseball, like clothes, cartoons, baseball cards, and every products of baseball.
In Japan
Major (棒球大聯盟) is a famous baseball cartoon series in Japan. If you are a baseball fan, I believe that you will love “Major”. Major is the story about the life of Gorō Honda ( Gorō Shigeno) , from kindergarten to being a Major League professional baseball player. There are a lot of challenges on his way to achieve the goal.
I love this cartoon because I can see the passion and strong faith for baseball. In the story, Gorō Shigeno never gives up playing baseball even though his right shoulder is injured. Although Gorō Shigeno can’t use his right hand to throw the ball, he puts much effort in training himself to switch to be a left hand pitcher. When I read this part of story, I was touched by Shigeno’s effort and spirit. I used to play baseball, but in the end I gave up playing baseball. So every time I read “Major” I always recall the precious memory of playing baseball.
By the way, I use one of character’s name to be my English name.
