Sogard from the Czech Republic goes to Sensoji Temple… Woman “The best way to end the trip”
Infielder Eric Sogard, who participated in the 5th World Baseball Classic (WBC) as the Czech national team, enjoyed Sensoji Temple with his family. His wife, Casey Sogard, reported on Instagram, “Japanese culture is great.” Drawing omikuji, washing hands and purifying themselves in the water basin, the family of seven enjoys “wa”.
Casey said, “Sensouji was number one on my list of places I wanted to go, but it was too much to take everyone with me, so I put it off for a long time. This is the best way to end our trip over in Japan. It was,” he said with satisfaction.
As for why Senso-ji Temple, he says, “It’s known as a place of good luck and good luck, so we went there to find it.” Of course, with the help of the Japanese people around me, I also had my first experience. “When making a wish, shake the container and turn it upside down to receive a numbered stick. Then, look for the same number in the file box. Open the drawer and receive your fortune! ” I drew omikuji.
“We were ‘good luck’, neither Naka-kichi nor Dai-kichi, but we weren’t bad luck, so luckily we didn’t have to take a picture again,” she recounted with a tearful smiling emoji. “It was definitely one of my favorite experiences during this trip. Japanese culture is wonderful,” he said.
Sogard has 26 homers and 187 RBI in 11 big league seasons. The last time he played in the majors was in July 2021 when he was with the Cubs, but at WBC he took part in four games in the first round and left a batting average of .438. The Czech national team’s all-out play and refreshing sportsmanship touched the hearts of many Japanese.
