Talking about injured knees, Akihiro Yano, one of Tigers' catchers, was retired from team 1 due to a pain in his right knee. That is to say Johjima is the only catcher left in team 1.
Other random news, coach Nakamura from team 2 had his Interleague uniform stolen in his hotel room. Scary fanatic people...
