Every Year is Golden Year in Chiba
There is something I really needed to see on Thursday. The big win you see in the score next to this text? Yes, that, but specifically that 9th inning. What a glorious way to win a game! Let’s go back a bit. Craig pointed out the mess that was Sunday’s game at the tail end …
