Japan Pro Baseball season opened Tuesday to relief and cheers.
With devastation brought by the earthquake and tsunami and the worsening nuclear crisis lurking in the background, Japan had its first baseball game of the season.
The Rakuten Eagles beat the Chiba Lotte Marines 6-4 in Tuesday's opener. The game brought a sense of normalcy to the hurting country and players hope this baseball season will be a healing process for Japan.
"This is going to be a great thing for them," said Rakuten pitcher Darrell Rasne, "Just for them to have something to cheer about, something to be happy about."
And, hopefully, it will do just that.
