Salesperson 40 (Japanese)

I remember 1998 very clearly, the year Daisuke Matsuzaka (now with the New York Mets) was at Koshien. The semi-final he was in, against PL Gakuen, went to an incredible 17 innings. Matsuzaka eventually won (for Yokohama). My boss and I had started watching on TV during lunch and we just couldn't stop.
