The surprising experience of a Tokyo baseball game cnn.com

(CNN) The World Series is one of sport's hot tickets, but match day at a baseball game in Japan outdoes anything the MLB has to offer.
On one wet summer evening in Tokyo, we saw Yakult Swallows play local rivals, Yomiuri Giants, at their home ground.
They're based at the Meiji Jingu Stadium, which was built in 1926, making it the oldest stadium in the city.
Although baseball was only imported to Japan during the 1870s, it's consistently named the nation's favorite sport , and there's no better place to experience that enthusiasm than at a Swallows home game.
At Meiji Jingu, the home fans sit apart from away supporters, in contrast to the MLB.
