they have every right to. Well done Japan.

Great to see the party getting started! The Samurai Warriors have definitely given 125 million people a reason to party after a few awful years.

Shame about the timing - there will be many, many sore heads tomorrow at work - that's for sure!

Congratulations to team Japan!

Congratulations Japan!

What a win for a team of minnows against the might and power of the MLB. Despite being noticeably shorter and lacking muscle power Japan was able to prevail. Would this be one of Japan's greatest sports achievements on the world stage?

How about a national holiday PM?

Team of minnows? They had the best player in the world in Ohtani and one of the best pitchers in MLB in Darvish. Both over 6-foot-5.

the three-time champs are hardly a team of minnows.

Great job clinching the tournament for Japan. My personal MVP awards go to Ohtani and Yoshida. The Biggest Disappointment Award to Murakami.

Ohtani VS Trout, 3 balls, 2 strikes, 1 run to tie the game and Ohtani rips a slider that got Trout to swing after multiple heaters. My heart is still pounding after that memorable scene!

A tremendous tournament overall, but the last two games were absolutely incredible with both the semi and final games' final innings being Hollywood scripted-like in excitement.

The Biggest Disappointment Award to Murakami.

The guy got the game winning hit in yesterday’s game, and a game tying home run in today’s. He broke out of his early slump at the perfect time.

It was a joy to see so many happy Japanese together, at the tv section of the department store I went to today. They were from all walks of life, together as one.

That last game was excellent. Another way to look at it? Anaheim (Ohtani) beat team USA.
