I've never been officially named captain by the manager. But if you look at my experience in baseball, I'm definitely the veteran on the team.
I've seen a lot of great plays in my five years in the majors. And I know we have enough talent on our team to be able to contend.
This is probably the biggest moment of my baseball career. This event has decided the true world champions and we have won. I'm unbelievably happy. It's amazing.
This is probably the biggest moment of my baseball career.
I don't know any of their names. The fact that they've come this far shows that they're a team with serious potential. I'm looking forward to (seeing) where these players will go in the future.
I don't know what to expect. I don't know many of their names. But the fact that they've come this far says a lot about them.

I feel really proud I'm one of only two to be playing in the final. I sense Major League Baseball is hurting a little bit.

It's a good chance for everyone interested in soba to exchange opinions. Walking around and tasting is the main part.
