Stretching on the field hours before Thursday's Game 5 of the Japan Series, Hokkaido Nippon Ham outfielder Daikan Yoh smilingly said that he hoped to go to South Korea.
That meant that he wanted to advance to the Asia Series in Busan by winning the Japan Series title against the Yomiuri Giants.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to go to South Korea," said Yoh, who made his first All-Star appearance this year.
