Sports

Sports take root in our lives and baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan. The newest Japanese professional baseball team is Rakuten. The reason that I’m talking about Rakuten is because of the Marth 11 earthquake.  

This earthquake caused great damage to the Tohoku area. Japanese professional baseball opening games were put off due to its effects. Especially, Rakuten had serious damage, because Rakuten's home is in Sendai. The opening game was finally held April 12. Rakuten played Lotte and won. Shima hit a three-run homer.  Rakuten's win was encouraging for the Tohoku people.

Other baseball teams are also doing activities to help sufferers. For example, Chunichi collected contributions. Of course, sport players also encourage people through their playing. 

Thus, sports give power to people. So sports are loved around the world.
