soul of baseball

Chapter 18
Shen Qin finally knows what cultural invasion is!

Yuri's house is a small two-story building with a yard at the front and back.

There are baseball-related items as far as the eye can see.

From towels to mugs, hats to socks...

How could a child who grew up in such an environment not love baseball?
It's like this outside, Shen Qin's room is even more extreme, even the bed sheets are bright red... The bookshelves are full of bobblehead dolls of all kinds of players, and the pictorials on the wall... Oh my god!
"Huh? This isn't the team logo of the Astros..." Shen Qin fell asleep on the plane, and only now realized: "Why don't we go to Houston?"

After finishing speaking, I saw a look on Yuri that I had never seen before, and it took a long time before I opened my mouth: "Oh~ I was traded, and the next season will start in St. Louis! So I'm sorry, your original school may It's about to change."

Shen Qin doesn't care, it's all starting from scratch anyway, and it doesn't matter where it is, but he doesn't like Yuri's current appearance: "Is the current team not good? Be happy!"

Being comforted by a brat, Yuri was also a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Of course the team is good! But after all, I didn't expect to be traded out, a little sad!"

"Then they will definitely regret it in the future, and you will be arrogant if you invite you back at that time."

"What is raising airs?"

"It's easy to disagree!"

"Ha~" Yuri rubbed Shen Qin's head with a smile. He knew that this kid was making him laugh, but for professional players like them, these things are normal, but it's really not that sad, just a little Regret only: "Thank you!"

"No matter how much you thank me, I won't help you unpack the package!" Shen Qin's eyes widened. He obviously found this house in a hurry. Although there is no shortage of everything, there must be a lot of personal belongings. The big cardboard box full of clothes is the best proof.

Yuri laughed out loud: "Some are dry goods, seasonings and so on. Ivy is afraid that you will not be used to eating them."

Shen Qin pursed his lips and went to help resignedly. Ivy was Ji Jia's English name, but this person's cooking skills were really not impressive. He probably couldn't make delicious food with so many things.

"You play games, are you usually at home?"

"The training ground is very close. You can come back every day when you play at home, but you can't do it when you play away. Sometimes you have to fly a long way."

"Oh~ what's the name of your new team?"

"St. Louis Cardinals!"

"Red Sparrow...the name sounds good!"

Yuri is tall and burly, and he unpacked the boxes very quickly. He sorted out several of them in a short while, and gestured to Shen Qin's height and said, "You have to grow taller. St. Louis is different from Houston. It can be said that it is It’s baseball for all, if you don’t play well, you’ll be laughed at.”

Shen Qin hummed and stood up and compared Yuri's shoulder: "I'm already that tall now, and I won't be able to run 185 in the future."

Of course, this is not casually said, but he had 186 in his previous life, so he ate well and exercised in this life, so he shouldn’t be shorter than this, right?
Unexpectedly, Yuri gave him a contemptuous glance: "Brother, I am 196."

"..." I don't want to talk about such sad words. The physique of foreigners is indeed extraordinary. From boarding to landing, most of the things I see are plus-size!And even though Yuri is a mixed race!But his height is definitely suitable for playing basketball in China, how can he play baseball.

"How do you feel about baseball right now?"

Shen Qin thought for a while and answered seriously: "It's quite interesting. It felt completely different from the first time I watched it... The first time I watched it... it was shocking at first, but then it became incomprehensible and boring. Now with that group The children learn together and understand a little bit, but gradually find it interesting.”

Yuri couldn't help but laugh: "Those kids? You are the kid, right? Let's play for now. In the United States, especially St. Louis and Cincinnati, baseball is not so much a sport as it is a culture. You can do it if you have nothing to do. Take your family to watch the game, how should I put it, it's as if you are hungry and want to eat so normal."

"The children have gone to watch football with their elders and friends since they were young. The local team has a good record, so it is naturally deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they have formed the most steadfast fans."

Shen Qin secretly clicked his tongue. The basketball fans in domestic schools can't do this. Will he, a foreign population, fall in love with baseball in the long run?

"I'll take you to the Cardinals' home stadium after the house is ready. Many tourists will also choose to go there. There are quite a lot of shops, games and so on. You can also learn about the history of the team!"

"History? Many years?"

"More than 100 years!"

Shen Qin was very surprised, after all, the founding capital of China... It seems that Americans really love baseball!
"Oh!" Yuri slapped his head: "Ivy said that I will find you a Spanish tutor, and you can also take language courses in high school." Seeing that Shen Qin wanted to refuse, he continued lightly: "Or Do you like French? Italian? It’s a good thing to learn more, you can see that I can talk to players everywhere in the team... even Japan and South Korea..."

"You learned it all at school?" Shen Qin found it hard to believe, because if Yuri looked like a libertine in ancient times, he would play truant now, so there is really nothing to say. Reliability!

"Ahem!" Yuri intends to end this topic. After all, he learned a lot in the small leagues, and Spanish and English are from novels to college... This is created by the environment, and there is no way to copy it. Shen Qin can only be wronged for his hard work.

Shen Qin did find it very hard. After all, when he was a child, all he heard was that studying abroad was more or less easy, but at home it was more or less strict... and so on!I never expected that this pair of cheap "parents" would be so dedicated. Could it be because of their rapid progress in English?

But this is really not his genius, but his memory has improved greatly, and he has a little foundation in his previous life!

Challenge another language?It's better to choose to pray to God and worship Buddha~
