Orioles v. Carp, 1984

Hisashiburi! That means "Long time no see" in Japanese. I used to post here under the handle doktorpeace or mixmastah34 or something. But now I live in Japan! And I play adult baseball because that is a super normal thing to do here and it is great! I am on one team with mostly Americans, and then also on a team that is all Japanese... which is the Cubs, official Chicago Cubs uniforms and all. I can live out my inner Strop.

Anyway, the whole point of this post is that one of my Japanese teammates gave me some pictures today that he personally took when the Orioles visited Japan and played against the Hiroshima Carp in 1984. This was a real thing that happened: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1984/10/29/orioles-square-series-with-carp/9fa4b2bd-ec32-4d0c-954d-58dbfe47ffd4/

But yeah, these photos are completely new to the internet so far as I know, so bask in the glory of the glory days!
