Baseball might be a young man's game, but it was old-timer's night at Tokyo Dome on Thursday.
Yomiuri Giants veteran Shinnosuke Abe hit a three-run home run in the third inning that held up and helped make a winner out of veteran pitcher Tetsuya Utsumi as the Kyojin earned a 4-2 victory over the Hanshin Tigers in front of a crowd of 43,164.
"Old man's power," the 39-year-old Abe responded when asked about the homer.
