Miracle Moon on World Baseball Classic
Mr. Sadaharu Oh and his disciples have become the first pennant winner of the World Baseball Classic games held in California, the U.S.
The box score was as follows:
400 020 004 = 10
It reads like “For me” To “For the team”; otherwise, it looks like an autograph of an angel that visited the ball park in the evening.

Believe or not, I found at a certain point of time that God was angry with something related to this event they advertised as true world-championship matches of baseball.
It might be concerned with selfishness some major league players displayed or bigotry the U.S. authorities displayed in its management and regulation, in addition to behavior of stepping on Japan’s achievement and its players being in earnest.
Otherwise, it should be unbearable disparity of wealth and social development among nations despite their common love of baseball.
Therefore, I cannot help but think that God sent an angel to Petco Park in San Diego to deliver a message to baseball fans, including those in Japan where an audience share for the live broadcast of the game between Cuba and Japan climbed up to over 50 percent, incredibly though the day was a national holiday in Japan.

You may think you need a goddess of victory or Victoria to win the cup in a difficult tournament.
Manager Sadaharu Oh said that the trend had changed when pinch-hitter Fukudome smashed a homer in the match against Korea. The ball was flying high in the dark, rainy night sky, as if being delivered by all-time home-run king Oh.
However, I think I really saw the moon in the night sky over the ball park at Anaheim. It looked like an advent of an angel or a goddess of victory.

The moon is one of the largest miracles concerned with the earth and human beings on it. First of all, there is no reason that the sun and the moon are observed in the identical size from the earth.
Secondly, the moon could look rotating in space to the earth even in the present era, though a physical theory tells that the moon will come to show only one side of its surface to the earth eventually due to interaction between the two astronomic bodies.
Thirdly, without the moon, the length of a day on the earth is said to be eight hours. In addition, stronger winds should be incessantly blowing over the ground due to the fast rotation of the earth. Accordingly, it would be difficult for any higher forms of life on the earth to evolve and develop its culture sufficiently.
Perhaps all over the universe, there are no other planets accompanied with a moon the earth has now in terms of the size, rotating conditions, and its origin and structure.
Nonetheless, mankind rarely wonders how strange that the earth has such a miracle moon, which makes the earth probably the only planet with unique civilization on it.
Japanese traditionally love the moon unlike Europeans.

You need something, even the moon, to make yourself humble in victory; otherwise you would pride yourself too much and suffer slights of angels eventually.
“THANK GOD, FOR HIS PRICELESS GIFT”
