Meriken
Park & Koshien
|
Wednesday May 1st, 2002 I went to Meriken Park in Kobe to see a memorial to the Hanshin Earthquake that cause so much death and destruction in the Kansai region when it hit. Also in Kobe I went to Chinatown for lunch and to a small amusement park as well. |
This is part of the memorial at Meriken park which shows a very small part of the destruction that happened in Kobe. |
Also in Meriken park are a few boats that appear to be from the future like this one. |
Later on in the day I went to see the Hanshin Tigers play the Dragons at Koshien Stadium. The Tigers lost 5-0, but it was still a good time and it was the first time I saw the Tigers play live in 2002. |
Here's Koshien's 9 American Flags. 2 of Hanshin's best HR hitters and 2 of their best pitchers are American. |
Here are some other Koshien flags and the fans megaphones which are banged in unison all game long. |
