Trying this out again for 2020

Hello,

I'm going to see if I can attempt this again. The Hawks are 3-6-1 and and 2.5 games out of last place, so it's very natsukashii.

Today, they technically didn't lose 1-1 against the Fighters in Sapporo. They were held to 2 hits, and you'd think a team with Yanagita, Matsuda, and Balentien, now aided by the young bat of Kurihara would score more runs, but hey. It's still early.

I might post other stories of the Hawks of yore from personal experience as they come up, but we'll see.  For now, here's the last game I attended (June 2018). The complete thrill in my face you see is the Hawks losing to the Carp 13-4.

SoftBank Hawks Literal Translation Roster 2018

2018 is upon us, and literal translations are here! I will probably post one team at a time as quite a bit of effort went into this. Naturally, you may have disagreement on certain translations, but these are all in good fun.

Moinelo nearly killed me. The only thing I could find was that Moinelo can mean "winner" in a South African language. So, that's what you're getting.
