In a standout performance, the Dodgers have scored a resounding victory with Yushin delivering a commanding complete game. Yushin showcased remarkable skill and endurance, becoming the focal point of the game. As a result, the Dodgers' win has sparked intense conversation among fans and sports pundits alike, not only in Japan but globally.
Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan and heavyweight players like Yushin are ardently followed. Achievements like a complete game are greatly celebrated, often bringing a sense of national pride. The ability to follow Japanese players' feats in international leagues also reinforces cosmopolitanism and continuity in Japan's passion for baseball.
In the US or EU, particularly in the US where baseball has a major following, the achievement of a complete game by a player is also highly celebrated. However, the level of national pride associated with such feats might not be as high as in Japan. This is partly due to a larger pool of talent and more teams in these regions compared to Japan.
