I like to listen on the radio or watch a game on TV.
It is very expensive to go to a professional baseball game.
I rarely ever do that

Baseball is a national sport in Japan. Professional baseball is made of twelve teams divided into two leagues. One league, The Central League, with its six teams, is famous.

My favorite baseball team is the Hanshin Tigers.

I love baseball, too, and I cannot go to the baseball stadium to watch it directly, but I watch it on TV and listen to it on the radio.

I sometimes watch the American Major League on TV, too.

>I am surprised that American games are broadcast in Japan.

>Baseball is a very strong sport in Japan.

>I thought there is no interest in American baseball.

>The New York Yankees is our most famous team.

>Have you seen them?

Why do you like the Orioles?

>The real reason is because my grandmother loved the Orioles.

>She taught all her children to like the team.

>All her children taught their children to like the Orioles.

>My generation taught its children to like the Orioles.

>Most Americans who like baseball like the team located nearest their hometown.

>My grandmother was from Baltimore.

>No matter where my family lived, we liked the Orioles best

Which player does a teacher like in Orioles?

I am not the devoted fan my grandmother was.

My favorite player, Cal Ripkin, retired from baseball.

He is active with his charities now.

My favorite on the current Orioles team is Manny Machado, a third baseman.

>What is your favorite sport?

My favorite sports are track and field.

My favorite competition is the short distance and marathon in track and field.

>Wow! Both events require different skill sets. Good for you!

Sincerely yours,

Genki
