In this special bonus episode of Conversations, host Doug Hill is once again joined by Ken, Maury, Stephen, and Tim to discuss their experience at Tokyo's historic Meiji Jingu Stadium for a Yakult Swallows-Yomiuri Giants crosstown showdown as part of the Around the World in 80 Sporting Events project.
The quintet reflect on the 2-1 Swallows, victory it witnessed, the famed umbrella dance, and draw inevitable comparisons between this experience and what they witnessed earlier in the their trip in Korea.
(Note: Doug incorrectly identified the fourth stadium still in use that Babe Ruth played in as being in Yokohama. It is, in fact, Koshien Stadium, home of the Hanshin Tigers.)
