Baseball is not a winter sport. The crack of the bat and the ball hitting a mitt are the sounds of summer. There's the green grass, the blue skies and the hot, humid August nights.
But what if, actually, no?
A little snow didn’t stop this high school girls baseball team in Japan! ❄️
According to Reddit, this is the Komadai Tomakomai High School girls baseball team in Tomakomai, Hokkaido. It's the same high school Masahiro Tanaka starred for in the mid-2000s, so you know they mean business. The girls team was apparently formed last year and they'll practice by themselves or sometimes with the boys. And yes, they'll train in single-digit temperatures on snow-covered fields. Look at that pile of snow out in left. It's like a winter version of Tal's Hill.
With the slipping and sliding and diving, baseball looks like a lot of fun in the winter. Maybe it's a year-round sport after all?
