Chapter 133: First Appearance
There are four games on the third day of the Collegiate Baseball Tournament. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Peace School vs. Rentian Industry match is the fourth game in the end.
The participating teams are two Koshien debuting teams. The two of the day's most talked-about matches have come to an end.
At the start of the game, there were just over 20,000 people left in the Koshien Stadium, which can accommodate more than 47,500 spectators. Despite this, it was also the most watched game of any game the Peace School baseball team has ever participated in.
At present, the area with the largest concentration of spectators in the stadium is the area called the "Alpine Stand" between the outfield and the infield on both sides of the first and third bases.
When Koshien Stadium was built, the stands were originally a semi-temporary wooden structure.
With the growing popularity of baseball games. In the second half of the twenties, the grandstand was rebuilt into its current reinforced concrete structure.
Since then, it has been the main stage for participating school support groups at the Koshien Tournament every summer.
Japanese student uniforms, whether they are stand-up collars or suit-style uniforms known as gakurans, are mostly worn with white shirts.
At the time of the game, the two stands were filled with a support lineup of boys in summer clothes and white shirts. From below, it looks like the snow of the Alps.
This is how the name "Alpine Grandstand" comes from.
Today, however, college baseball has become more diverse, and many schools have organized cheerleading teams for girls. Wear colorful costumes to cheer on the scene.
In the stands on the first base where the Peace School is located today, there are also dozens of female cheerleaders. It's just that in terms of age, it doesn't look like a college student.
"Do we have a cheerleading club in our school?"
Li Yuan, who was warming up before the game on the sidelines, was a little surprised to see the cheerleaders of his school.
"I don't think so."
One of his teammates replied.
"Are there any people you know in this group of cheerleaders?"
"It doesn't seem to be."
Although most of the time is spent training, Li Yuanrang is not completely untouched with the girls of this school.
In the Peace School High School, which has only about 400 students, dozens of people are selected to be cheerleaders, and then perfectly avoid all the classmates he knows. The odds are too small.
"Those people were part-time workers, and they were recruited from Kansai on a temporary basis."
Yabe's explanation dispelled Lee's doubts.
This is because the number of students in our school is limited. Principal Morimoto of the Peace School had no choice but to recruit part-time workers to serve as a support group on a local Kansai part-time website.
Tickets are reimbursed, costumes are issued, and the hourly wage is 2,000 yen.
Most of the applicants are local freelancers. There are even some housewives who work part-time.
Since the collapse of the bubble economy, Japan's lifetime employment system has gradually collapsed. More and more people are relying on informal hired gig workers to make ends meet.
The original stereotype of Japanese full-time housewives who only care about their husbands and children is increasingly relying on odd jobs to supplement their families.
"If the hourly salary is 2,000, isn't it higher than the salary that Coach Aragaki usually pays to assist everyone in training...... Anyway, Coach Aragaki, how did you get into the rest area!? ”
"I asked Mr. Sato to sign up for me. Now nominally I'm the team's overseer. ”
During a Koshien match, there are three other people who can enter the rest area, in addition to the maximum of 18 players per team.
The head of the baseball club or the instructor, the recorder who is usually the manager, and of course the team supervisor.
Coaches who assist the team in training are not allowed to enter the rest area.
In the past, the supervisor of the Peace School Baseball Club was also appointed by instructor Sato. However, shortly before the competition, Aragaki and Sa, at the instigation of their manager Asakura, asked Sato-sensei to register her as an overseer.
"Wouldn't that be a record!"
"So when I play, I will pretend to play a few codes, and remember to do something to respond to me when the time comes."
In the field of college baseball in Japan, female supervisors are not uncommon. Many public school teams are coached by female teachers with softball experience. However, it has never been possible to win the local caucuses and enter Koshien.
Once this match begins, Kazusa Aragaki will make history as the first female supervisor to direct a match at Koshien Stadium.
This information has never been revealed to the media before. After today's game, Aragaki wearing the team's jersey will surely attract the attention of the broadcast camera when he stands in the rest area and makes a code signal to the field.
And that's what team manager Minami Asakura is all about.
Standing next to the female supervisor who made history, you will definitely be able to rub off on a lot of TV footage.
As long as it can be broadcast on the screen of the game broadcast nationwide, you can go to message boards and social networking sites to post a few posts in the name of passers-by to promote yourself in the evening after the game.
"Flash! I found a beautiful female manager on the side of the Koshien arena! ”
"The female supervisor who made history, the manager next to her is actually a Ruoshou actress!"
"Tragic retribution! The female manager of the Peace School Park is an artist.,You otaku don't have a chance! ”
It only took a split second for Asakura to come up with a bunch of titles in his head.
For this day, she specially wore a brand new uniform. The shirt was hot and straight, and every pleat of the short skirt was neatly ironed.
"Asakura-senpai, doesn't your hair feel hot?"
In Koshien in August, the temperature was in the mid-30s all day, and most of the school managers who were recorders wore ponytails.
And Mio Asakura intends to dye her hair, which is usually dyed dark flaxen, black. Today it appears in the shape of "black long straight".
Li Yuanrang looked at it and was hot for her.
"Well, after all, the audience in front of the TV is still the college ball, and the male high school students have no resistance to black straight hair."
Asakura pointed to his hairstyle, looking smug.
Li Yuanrang shook his head, picked up his gloves and walked out of the rest area.
The first half of a game is played by the opponent first. Li Yuanrang put on a full set of protective gear and prepared to go to home plate to squat and catch.
"It's like a dream, Koshien game."
"It doesn't hurt to dream."
"Ahh
Yabe pinched the palm of Li Yuanrang's left hand.
"Well, if your left hand is uncomfortable, swap it with me."
"The injury is completely healed, you pinched too hard!"
Because of the results of the lottery, the Peace School had one or two more days off than planned.
Li Yuanrang's left hand injury has basically healed. The catch is completely unaffected.
However, if you pull hard during the blow, it will still be slightly painful if one or two points on the palm of the hand are pressed.
Thankfully, Lee Wonrang is generally a push-and-play player. The right hand plays a greater role when swinging the stick. (To be continued.) )
