The Seibu Department Stores are having a huge three sale since it's team, The Seibu Lions of Tokorozawa, Saitama, won the Japanese World Series. I've been a fan since I came here and was looking for a team to root for other than The Yomuiri Giants, who are the Yankees of Japan. The picture above was taken at the Ikebukuro store, the largest in Japan. Incidently, Kazuo Matsui, of the Mets, used to play for the Lions.
Ok, now that's really strange, as I was writing this post, a friend of a friend (she works for a network sports TV program) just called to ask if I or someone I knew could teach Kazuo Matsui's family English. Unfortunately, they want someone who can come and teach all day long, so it won't be me.
