Tonight I am going to talk a little bit about this lesson. I really liked this lesson because its about baseball and I have to tell you that baseball is my favorite sport !!.. So when I have to talk about something that I love I feel very confortable.
This topic is about the dawn of baseball especially in Japan. The game was originally known as town-ball and developed in the nineteenth century. From this lesson I learned that Henry Chadwick wrote the first rule book.
For me is very interesting to know how this sport was first played in Japan. it was played by schoolboys. Primarily used as a teaching tool, baseball was played quite rigidly in Japan, as if it were a martial art.
- The Yomiuri Giants dominated J-Ball for many years.
- Their first superstar was Tetsuharu Kawakam
- The next Giant star was Shigeo Nagashima
From this lesson I learned some new words that I want to share with you!!!
- Ballparks = Stadium
- Split = Divide
- Revered = Admirado
- On the heels = After
- Turmoil = Many Problems
- Flee = Escape
- Caught on = get popular
- Mend = repair talking about feelings
Is good to know that the Baseball was born in the United States but over the years it has become internationalized. Among Latin American countries, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela have strong baseball traditions and have contributed many players to the mayor leagues in the United States. Baseball has also taken root in East Asia: in Korea, Taiwan, and, especially, Japan.
