"Good evening, all fans of professional baseball!" On the TV screen, the graceful and lovely female host of the baseball program greeted the audience with her gentle and intelligent voice, "Welcome to the special program for the first week of the new season of professional baseball."
"The 2014 season of professional baseball has already been underway for a week. Let's take a look at the current standings of the two major leagues—"
"In the Central League, last season's champion Yomiuri Giants had a poor start and are currently in fourth place with 5 wins and 4 losses after three series. Ahead of them are the Hanshin Tigers with 7 wins and 2 losses, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp with 6 wins and 3 losses, and the Yakult Swallows who have the same record but lead due to head-to-head performance."
