Professional baseball player Yakult announced that it was confirmed that the baseball mascot "Tsuba Kuro" was infected with the new coronavirus.

"I'm sorry," he said.

In the professional baseball world, infection with the new coronavirus has continued, and several players have declined to participate in the All-Star Game that has been held since the 26th.



Under these circumstances, Yakult's team mascot "Tsuba Kuro" participated in the first round of the All-Star Game held at PayPay Dome in Fukuoka City on the 26th, and the stadium was lively with performances before the game and between innings. According to the team, a positive PCR test was conducted before moving to Matsuyama City, where the second round will be held.



For this reason, we have decided not to participate in the second round on the 27th.



Kuro Tsubasa commented in the title section of his blog, "I'm sorry."



Tsubasa Kuro is approaching two more games until 2000 games hosted by the team.
