Duty, Honor, Country, Family - Part 10

A Hanshin Giant player had just beat out a bunt single on a very close call, one that brought the Yokohama manager out to argue with the first base umpire.

“That was a bad call,” Goro said as he continued to focus on the ball game rather than the goings on in his box. Doho Taneda, having recovered the napkin with his left hand, was just getting back to his feet less than two feet away from Goro’s side.

“I’m so sorry,” were the last words ever spoken by Doho Taneda.
