Yakult, who won the Central League championship for the second year in a row in professional baseball, held a victory party on the ground of Jingu Stadium, and coach Shingo Takatsu and the players shared the joy.
The victory celebration was held at a special venue on the ground of Jingu Stadium, and coach Takatsu and the players participated wearing T-shirts made to commemorate the victory.
Coach Takatsu said, "I want to thank the coaches, players, and staff for being able to meet us. Thank you for giving us a toss-up. We still have a long way to go, but for today, let's break free and have a blast. Thank you very much."
It was past 11:00 p.m., but many fans were watching the victory party in the stands, and pitcher Yasuhiro Ogawa, the player's president, said, "Thank you to all the fans who came to Jingu Stadium and all the fans all over the country. We will continue to fly high with the love of our fans watching over us."
When we won the championship last year, we weren't able to pour beer to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, so all the players were smiling and sharing their joy.
