I hope you had a good time! One cool thing happened for the girls who went to Canada. They went to a baseball game! The Toronto Blue Jays are Canada\u2019s only major league team, so really it isn\u2019t just \u201cToronto\u2019s\u201d team\u2026 it is Canada\u2019s team! It was nice of them to welcome our girls to the stadium with a message on the scoreboard:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1528579005125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-177\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1528579005125-644x362.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"644\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1528579005125-644x362.jpg 644w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1528579005125-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1528579005125-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I was a boy growing up in Canada I played baseball with my best friend. Even though we lived in Vancouver, we always cheered for the Blue Jays. In 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays won the World Series. It is rare for teams to win two years in a row, but Toronto did it! The end of the 1993 World Series is one of the most famous homeruns in basball history.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-F5HwiGm7lg?feature=oembed&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"644\" height=\"362\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In Japanese it is called a \u201cSayonara Hit\u201d, but in English we call it a \u201cWalk-off\u201d hit, because afterwards the players walk off the field. The game is over. Joe Carter hit a walk-off homerun to win the series.\u00a0Even though it happened 25 years ago, I still remember being in my living room, watching Joe Carter run to home.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad our girls got to have a major league experience, and that everyone came home safely. Thank you again to all the teachers and parents who helped put this trip together!<\/p>\n<p>Allen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everybody, Now everyone is back from their school trips.
