3月22日、World Baseball Classicの準決勝の対USA戦を観戦しにDodger Stadiumへ愛国心丸出しで行って来ました！まさか自分がアメリカで「にっぽんチャチャチャ！」をやるとは夢にも思っていませんでしたが、対戦相手がアメリカチームだったし、自分も日の丸を背負う気持ちで侍ジャパンを応援してきました！

World Baseball Classicの記録では今回２番目に観戦者が多く４万人以上の観衆が集まったとの発表がありました。「U,S,A ! U,S,A!」「にっぽんチャチャチャ！にっぽんチャチャチャ！」と熱のこもった応援合戦も繰り広げられ、その試合内容も素晴らしいものだったのでとても楽しかったです。（しかし寒かった！）
ニュースで観たんだけど、USのベースボールファンはそれほどこの大会には興味はないらしく、地元のチームの応援にしか関心がないそう。地元スポーツバーの巨大スクリーンを見る人は殆どいなかったそうです。アメリカもトップクラスの大リーガーをズラりと揃えて来て欲しいものだけど、実現しないんだろうな。。。
まだまだUSでは国際大会としての定着度は低いと思われるこのWorld Baseball Classicですが、メディアは注目し連日レポートしていたし、アジアからの２チームが決勝進出という事でアジアのベースボールのレベルの高さは再度アピール出来たはず。にっぽんチャチャチャ（笑）

A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment.

After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.
