“Hey, Ji. How about a casino when you arrive?”
On the road to play a series against the Las Vegas Athletics. As I was about to lie down on the seat, Camacho approached me.
“Casino?”
“We’re going to Las Vegas, so we’re going to have some fun.”
Anyway, Camacho, who did this bastard learn from, and why is he already into that type of thing…? .
Well, but it wasn’t bad. Since I came to the United States, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try a casino. Although the complicated card game wasn’t very fun, there seemed to be a lot of women. Besides, tomorrow is a rest day, so I didn’t think it would affect the game.
‘Casino? Good. ‘I’ll show you my real skills.’
‘Mr. Rossby, you’re so fucking bad at it. Just look at your opponent’s card and let them know.’
Hehe, just leave it to me.’
Moreover, Mr. Rossby seemed excited for the first time in a long time, so considering it was a filial piety tour, he had no reason to refuse.
“But the two of you?”
“No, I tricked you, so now I’m trying to save you.”
“Are you going to know where it is?”
“Why don’t you stay at the hotel? “It’s Las Vegas.”
“Haven’t you been there?”
“I was in the minors last year when the Athletics were away. “This is my first time going to Las Vegas.”
“Well, okay. But are we going alone?”
“I’m going with similar people, how about Paul or Volpi?”
Well, the volume of blood was just right. Compared to the older players on the team, he was in his mid-twenties, similar in age, and was a veteran who had played in the major leagues for over four years, so he seemed familiar with Las Vegas.
‘I guess I can just let Volpi guide me.’
“Good. “You ask Volpi.”
“… Well, can you come with me? I guess I’m not that close with Volpi.”
Anyway, this guy takes a lot of effort.
I can clearly see why Camacho asked me that first.
Camacho is said to be throwing well, but he is currently the youngest player on the team. And no matter how spacious the major leagues were, they were not so spacious that the youngest child could go to the casino alone. So, since we are the same age and are the leader of the team, they probably want to use me as a shield to go out and play.
Although the idea was obvious, I also wanted to take a look, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to become a source of great power for Camacho.
“Let’s go to Volpi.”
“Great! Ji! Let’s burn it down properly today. Because it’s Las Vegas.”
The judge next to me was laughing as if it was fun, but seeing as he didn’t stop us, it seemed like there was no rule within the team that said we couldn’t go to the casino.
“Volpi.”
“Huh? What’s going on? The two of us.”
“Oh, that’s it. “Let’s join forces at the Young Pikkiri Casino today.”
“What? Phew, casino? Where?”
Ugh, why is this kid reacting like this?
“Where, of course, Las Vegas. “If it’s Las Vegas, then of course the hotel we go to will have a casino.”
Haha! Did you just hear that? Camacho is going to Las Vegas. Haha.”
And as Camacho continued, Volpi started laughing, and the other players who heard Volpi’s words also started laughing so hard that the plane shook.
“… What? “Why are you smiling?”
Camacho and I looked at each other because we couldn’t understand why the other players were smiling like that. While I was looking at Camacho’s stupid expression, a call came.
“How are you going to get to Las Vegas?”
“Yes? Of course, I’m going by plane. “Aren’t you going now?”
Haha.”
“What really?”
Haha, you idiot. “We are going to San Francisco now.”
And Cole, who was laughing, made an odd comment that we were going to San Francisco.
“Yes?”
“Huh?”
“To Sacramento to be exact. The Athletics’ home stadium is there.”
Fuck, where is Sacramento? I had no idea.
“No, it’s the Las Vegas Athletics, so why go to Sacramento…” .”
Listening to Camacho mumbling, it seemed like he didn’t understand what was going on.
“That’s because the home stadium hasn’t been built in Las Vegas yet. I’ll probably be there until this season. “They said they’re moving next year?”
“Fuck, but why is the team name Las Vegas?”
I didn’t understand why a team that wasn’t even in Las Vegas was using the name of Las Vegas, so I asked Cole,
“You don’t know that. I originally heard that they were going to use The Athletics while they were there, but it looks like they will be bringing in Las Vegas fans from now on.”
It seemed like Cole didn’t know the exact circumstances.
“Haha, well, I guess there’s a casino there too. The hotel we’re going to won’t have it, though. Anyway, take a good look.”
And then the call passes by, tapping our shoulders.
Holy shit, did other kids laugh like that?
“I don’t mind going to Las Vegas, but don’t you want to go to Sacramento and go to the casino? Let’s do our best together. Haha.”
Moreover, I felt like a fool when Volpi’s wedge got stuck.
“What the fuck.”
Camacho seemed to feel the same way, but I was more annoyed at Camacho for asking me to go to the casino without really knowing him than the other players who laughed at me.
“What the fuck, didn’t you, a bastard who debuted two years ago, even know that?”
“You didn’t even know!”
“Oh, you stupid bastard.”
Pak!
“Ahh!”
The back of Camacho’s head felt in the palm of his hand was quite hard, as if representing his intelligence.
“Bitch, don’t think about winning a fortune at the casino, live a healthy life. “A baseball player should think about being good at baseball and go to a casino or something.”
“Ssi…”
Camacho must have realized his mistake, but he didn’t get angry at me even though he got stabbed in the back.
‘Well, this happened because of some reason, but if you say something to me here, you’re not a human being.’
Anyway, these guys aren’t serious about baseball. This is the problem with Americans. No, this bastard has a bastard on the roster who doesn’t even know where the opposing team’s home stadium is?
I suddenly got irritated and wanted to punch Camacho in the back of the head one more time, but Camacho was already returning to his seat.
‘But isn’t that the same for you too?’
‘… Shut up. Even Mr. Rossby didn’t know.’
‘Fuck. How do I know that, you monkey!’
‘Then how do I know that? Fuck, I don’t even know where Sacramento is.’
On my way back to my seat after arguing with Mr. Rossby. I can hear the players laughing at me.
‘What the fuck.’
You made me go through this humiliation. Moreover, this incident damaged my intellectual image.
It’s all the fault of those bastards with the name Las Vegas Athletics who aren’t even in Las Vegas.
‘Are you insulting me like this? You bastards, you are really behind.’

[… As Boyle was taken off the roster due to injury, Pennings was called up again. In fact, Pennings was on the opening roster? And he got sent down to the minor leagues after appearing in 6 games in a month with a 7.76 earned run average? I’m looking forward to seeing if I can show a better side today.]
[Pennings on the mound, and Ji Maeng-ho, the Yankees’ number one hitter, at the plate. Ah! Ji Maeng-ho’s first pitch hit! This batted ball! Behind left field! Behind left field! Let’s go! Ji Maeng-ho hits a home run as the lead hitter! 32nd home run of the season! Ji Maeng-ho, who started the home run factory again by hitting four home runs in the last game, hits his 32nd home run! Score 1:0]
[The first inning ends with the score 1:0. … Today’s Yankees starter is Walker Buehler. … The score is balanced with Noda allowing a home run. Score 1:1!]
[… Ohapee’s three-run Yankees lead 4-1! … Ji Maeng-ho gets a walk. … Steals second base! Recorded his 38th stolen base of the season. … Judge’s batted ball goes to right-center! Ji Maeng-ho goes all the way home! Score 5:1!]
[… Athletics to keep track of the scores! Score 5:5! Buehler falls! … Volpi, Kelnick, and Vientos got on base in succession, leaving the bases loaded with one out. And the batter is Ji Maeng-ho, who hit a home run and a walk today.]
[I’m really looking forward to this match, right? It is a situation that cannot be avoided.]
[… Ji Maeng-ho’s batted ball! Cut left and center! Runner on third base goes home! Runner on second base goes home! And the runner on first base also goes home! Safe! And in the meantime, Ji Maeng-ho reaches third base! Ji Maeng-ho records a sweeping triple! He produces 4 RBIs in just 3 at-bats! Score 8:5! … Taking advantage of Judge’s sacrifice fly, Ji Maeng-ho heads home! 9:5! The Yankees produce another big inning! And Pennings ends here…]
[Ah, actually, the game against the Yankees, who boast the best batting lineup in the league, was a little difficult for the returning pitcher, right? It’s a shame.]
[Now Ersek is on the mound. … Summarize the innings. The game now goes to the bottom of the third inning. … Buehler recorded his first scoreless inning in today’s game thanks to a three-way error. Now we go to the top of the 4th inning. … Ohapee’s timely hit score 11:5! And Ji Maeng-ho, the hitter with 4 RBIs today, has the opportunity to load the bases once again!]
[Ji Maeng-ho is in very good condition today, isn’t he? The concentration is like sharpening a knife…]
[… Ji Maeng-ho’s batted ball! Back to left field again! Back! Let’s go! Ji Maeng-ho records multiple home runs! 8 RBI game today! And the score is 15:5! Yankees lead by 10 points!]
[The 85 mph slider is too centered. For Ji Maeng-ho, such an easy ball is no different from prey.]
[… Top of the 5th inning, the score still down by 10 points. … Kelnick’s batted ball! Cut left and center! Stanton, who was on third base, went home! The hole on second base also went home! Three leaves! Jared Kelnick scores his 17th point! … Ah! A ball that fits your body! Vientos walks to first base with a hit to the body! … Ohapee’s batted ball was caught by right fielder and two outs. Meanwhile, Kelnick, the runner on second base, reached third base. Now, with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd base, Ji Maeng-ho, who is showing his best performance today with 3 hits in 3 at-bats, 1 walk, and 2 home runs, comes to the plate.]
[Ji Maeng-ho’s batting feels perfect today, right? This at-bat is also worth looking forward to.]
[… Ji Maeng-ho’s batted ball! Cut right and center! Ji Maeng-ho once again sweeps away all runners! Ji Maeng-ho’s timely double! Today we will have a 10-run game!]
[Wow, you completely caught the day today? Not only does he have one hit remaining in the cycling hit, but as far as I know, the record for most RBIs in a major league game is 12?]
[12 RBIs?]
[Yes. I understand that Wheaton hit 4 home runs and recorded 12 RBIs, and although it is currently the top of the 5th inning, he is already in his 5th at-bat. Maybe a new history in the Major League could be written today?]
[Will Ji Maeng-ho be able to record 12 RBIs, the most RBIs in a game, and his third cycling hit of the season? .]
