‘I don’t know how long I can keep this up after I turn 30.’
‘Only a handful of those who retire become coaches or commentators.’
‘Some people fail to make more than 1 million yen (~$9300) a year.’
‘Pro baseball players have to save up their earnings now while they can!’

As he stares down the harsh reality facing him, he utters a certain phrase over and over.

‘There’s money buried under the pitchers mound!’

Today too, Bonda stands on the pitchers mound and dreams of ‘Gurazeni’!
