It has been announced that TBS announcer Tamura Mako will throw the ceremonial first pitch at the game between the Chunichi Dragons and the Yomiuri Giants to be held at Vantelin Dome Nagoya (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) on April 2nd.
Tamura is from Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture. In addition to being the MC of the morning live show "Love it!", she was ranked first in last year's "Favorite Female Announcer Ranking."
Tamura commented, "I have the honor of participating in the ceremonial first pitch. This is my first time in such an event, so I am very nervous, but as someone who grew up listening to 'Burning Dragons' in the Tokai region, it is the greatest joy for me. I will do my best, however small, to liven up the day!"
