日本シリーズ (Nippon series ): The Japan Championship Series 2009

The Japan Championship Series is a seven-game championship played by the teams of Japan's two professional baseball leagues (the Central leagues and the Pacific league).
This year the Yomiuri Giants, alias Kyojin (読売ジャイアンツ:巨人) became a champion on Saturday, November 7. It's been 7 years since they became the champion last time in 2002 and this was the 21st victory for them.
I am not a big fan of Japanese baseball teams, but I like to see the activities of Japanese players in the United States such as Ichiro (イチロー) and Matsui (松井).
After the Nihon series, the sponsored department stores often have special victory sales for a few days, that is an attractive event.
