This Game Called Baseball

"Uncle!" - Shun said excitedly when he saw the tall man with green eyes and black hair, he was the same age as his father, and also was in a great shape.

That man wasn't his blood uncle, but Shun didn't care. Since he was a baby, this man had been his uncle, someone his father considered a brother. This was Masahiro Takeda, a legend in Japanese baseball, the starting catcher who received his father's pitches during Japan's last World Baseball Classic title, and also the father of his childhood friend Toji.

"Hehe, how are you, kid? Satoru was telling me about you, it seems like you've improved a lot, huh." - Masahiro said with a smile as he placed a hand on Shun's head, messing up the hair his mother had carefully combed.

"Huh? Talking about me?" - Shun asked, confused. He didn't understand why Hana's father would be talking about him to Masahiro.
