Kazuto Okazaki, a neighbor of mine in the dorm, took me to a baseball game, Detroit Tigers v.s. Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. The game started at 7:05 pm on July 1 (Pittsburgh local time) was a sellout with 37,111 baseball fans (the second sellout of the season). As a result, what we could buy were actually standing tickets, which cost each of us $8, the same price of a hot dog I bought inside the baseball park. But most important (and surprising) of all was that Pirates defeated Tigers, the current leader in whole MLB.

Although there was no organized cheerleading squad for the home team, active or fanatical participation of fans could be seen everywhere in the ball park. The only organized cheerleading squad (with about seven members) was actually for the visiting team.
