The long history of the Giant Army has always been loud and cheered by fans, It was a courageous event because of the new coronavirus, but it was an open season with no audience, but it was a professional baseball game for fans, and 6000 wins are still a passing point. And, please do your best to reach the goal of regaining the number one in Japan that you couldn't achieve last year."
In addition, Chairman Wang said, "Congratulations to Mr. Hara, the coaches, the players, the staff, and a total of 6000 wins. It is the result of the efforts of many people, one by one, in the history of the 86-year-old giant. The Giant is a special team that is always required to win.The new Coronavirus has made it an unspectacular game, but thanks to being able to play baseball, we will continue to be loved by our fans and walk with them. Please."
