The Okinawa camp of professional baseball Hanshin celebrated its first holiday, and new players, including Teruaki Sato, who was ranked first in the draft, took a commemorative photo at the hotel in the dormitory, wearing traditional Okinawan costumes.
Six newcomers, including Sato, who participated in the Hanshin 1st Army camp, experienced wearing traditional Okinawan costumes at the hotel on the 5th, the first holiday of the camp.
Costumes are available for men and women, and Sato, who chose for men, changed into a nobleman from the Ryukyu dynasty, even though it took time to dress unfamiliarly, and he said, "I went to Okinawa with a replica of the sword in one hand. I stood behind the board that said "I did" and took a commemorative photo.
After that, Sato and his friends enjoyed a short break, such as taking a walk on the beach near the hotel and observing the huge Shisa, which is said to be the largest in Okinawa, with a height of about 9 meters.
Rookie players visit tourist spots on the first holiday of the camp every year, but while Okinawa Prefecture's own state of emergency is issued, the team prohibits going out except for walks, and this is a hotel. It was a walk around the area.
Sato said, "Okinawa is very beautiful and I wanted to live in the future. The amount of professional practice is amazing, so I want to do my best to keep up with tomorrow, and I want to hit and hit home runs in actual battles." ..
