Baseball and the girls!

So I met a girl named Cori down in the market around May. She also lives in our apartment building, and has a 18 month old daughter named Harper. They are here because of her husband's (Travis) job. We exchanged numbers and soon got together for lunch about a month later. She brought 2 other American girls along (Jen and Lauren) who also live in the building and all of their husbands "work together"! Well before going to lunch I was thinking their husbands were also engineers. They are actually wives of the professional baseball team here in Yokohama called the Yokohama Bay Stars. I was a little intimidated at first. But they are all super nice, down to earth, fun girls. Lauren also has a 2 year old daughter, Madison. Through out the summer we have meet a couple of the other players as well. A couple actually have been going between the minors and the majors. And then a little later in the Summer another wife got to town, her name is Angela and she has 2 kids Michael (2) and Madelyn (6 months). So its been a fun summer getting to know everyone and hanging out. We went to a minor's game a while ago and just went to a Bay Stars game just the other day. It was pretty exciting. The crowd is crazy, there is a band playing and cheering non-stop. The Bay Stars are not doing that well this year but they pulled out a win for us! The final score was 8-12. They would have blown them away but they kinda lost it at the end and let 5 runs in, in the 9th. We hope to maybe get in another game before the season is up! A couple of them may be back next year along with some new comers. So hopefully we will be able to meet up again next summer! Oh also the other day when we went to the Baystars game there was this super cute half American half Japanese girl who was making faces to everyone behind her. So I snagged a couple of shots of her. I was going to give her mom and dad my website to get the pics but we were so packed in I couldn't get out before they left. You can see more pics of her and the rest of the game at the smugmug website!
