Orix's Fan Appreciation Day, which won the championship in professional baseball and the Pacific League for the first time in 25 years, was held, and player chairman Masataka Yoshida said, "I want to fight together next year aiming for the best in Japan that I could not take. I said my determination.
Orix's Fan Appreciation Day was held at Kyocera Dome Osaka, the home of the company, for the first time in two years with an audience of about 15,000.
Mayor Matsui of Osaka City encouraged and waited every year, saying, "Waiting for Midosuji," and the championship parade, which was attracting attention as a measure against infection with the new coronavirus, was postponed on the 4th. The players marched on "Virtual Midosuji," which was created by streaming the images of Midosuji on a large screen.
Following Satoshi Nakajima, who was in the convertible, and Yoshida, the player's chairman, the venue gave a big applause when the players with champion flags and trophies showed up.
After that, when it was revealed that the locker was dirty about ace pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto who won 18 wins this season at the talk event, pitcher Yamamoto said, "Someone was always cleaning it, but it will be dirty in 3 days. I saw pitcher Hirotoshi Masui, who was 14 years older than me, cleaning it, and I thought I'd clean it up. "
And at the end of the event, the players lined up in front of the fans, and Yoshida said, "I won the Pacific League for the first time in 25 years, but I couldn't win the best in Japan. I want to fight. "
