There is no thought of social distancing, it seems, when celebrating a no-hitter.
When Tokyo Yakult Swallows pitcher Yasuhiro "Ryan" Ogawa became the 82nd NPB hurler to join the no-hitter club, catcher Akihisa Nishida wasted no time enveloping him in a bear hug on the mound.
The rest of the Swallows followed soon after, converging on the pair and jubilantly emptying whatever water remained in their plastic bottles onto their 30-year-old pitcher. Then, there were high-fives and more hugs.
