＜Japanese Version＞

　大谷選手が出場するMLB「ドジャース vs ダイヤモンドバックス」の試合開始直前にバックネット最上部に多量のミツバチが集合して危険であることが分り、試合開始が２時間ほど延期された。蜂駆除業者が来るまでに１時間１５分ほど掛ったのだが、業者はリフトに乗って、蜂駆除薬噴霧の後に蜂吸引機で蜂を吸い取って約１０分で仕事を終えた。蜂駆除業者は観客からヒーローとして崇められ、試合開始前のセレモニーでは始球式の投手として再登場し、観客からヤンヤの歓声を受けていた。流石にアメリカは面白いなぁというエピソードであった。

＜English Version＞

　Just before the start of the MLB game ”Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks,'' in which Otani was participating, it was discovered that a large number of bees had gathered at the top of the back net, causing a dangerous situation, and the start of the game was postponed for about two hours. 　It took about an hour and 15 minutes for the bee exterminator to arrive, but the exterminator got on a lift, sprayed the bee exterminator, and then used a bee suction machine to suck out the bees and finished the job in about 10 minutes. The bee exterminator was worshiped as a hero by the audience, and during the pregame ceremony, he reappeared as the pitcher to throw the ceremonial first pitch, receiving cheers from the audience. As expected, it was an episode that made me think that America is interesting.
