The Nagoya Dome and Japanese baseball are pretty well document here<\/a>, so I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go into detail. The game was interesting and went into extra innings. I was sitting intently, watching the game, the 10 inning ended scoreless and then \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 everyone walked off the field and the stands started emptying.<\/p>\n SAY WHAT?!?!
