The game got underway and the crowd was into it from the beginning. Both Ken and Daichi were sitting in the dugout, chatting to each other while it went on.
With Leo taking the starting catcher's position, Daichi would not be playing unless he was taken out, or he came in as a designated hitter.
But he didn't seem to care.
"Kenny boy! How you going man?" A voice called from nearby.
Ken resisted the urge to roll his eyes as a familiar figure came and sat down next to him. It was Alex Cole from the New York Yanks, Leo's teammate and one of the first professional players he'd met.
While they didn't have a bad relationship, Ken had gone through quite a bit after accepting VIP tickets from him back in college.
"Alex." Ken nodded.
"Oh come on man, don't be so cold. Are you still upset about paying back those VIP tickets? I'll send you the money now if you really need it." He said with a smile.
"Don't worry about it." Ken said, waving it off.
