| Trivia | At the 30-minute mark, the baseball team the women are watching at bat is the Mainichi Orions, as evidenced by the announcements of left fielder Takuzo Miyake and center fielder Kaoru Betto. The Orions were the defending Japan Series champions in 1951, but finished third in the Japanese Pacific League with a 54-51 record despite Betto hitting .309 with 16 home runs and 22 stolen bases, and Miyake batting .281. The franchise still exists as of 2020 as the Chiba Lotte Marines. See more » |
