Yokohama DeNA BayStars

How do you say “sayonara” in English? It’s “goodbye” or “bye-bye” of course.

In Japanese baseball also, “sayonara” means “goodbye.” Who says? To whom? When? BayStars have said “goodbye” to Tigers at the end of the game.

This is a “sayonara” game. X means the moment.

On the other hand, in America, this kind of game is called “walk off.” The losing pitcher has to “walk off” from the mound without getting three outs.

The same thing, different expressions.
