Amid all the beautiful chaos of Japan’s World Baseball Classic walk-off win over Mexico was a classy moment spotted by a viewer on Twitter.
As Japan’s team celebrated the walk-off double at home plate, you can see a fan with a Japanese flag turn to a Mexico diehard, bow to him and give him a hug. That’s really classy and wonderful, and it kind of reflected what happened later, with Japan’s entire team bowing to the crowd and to their opponents.
Check out the footage below, it’s really wonderful. This is why the World Baseball Classic continues to be the best:
