"The oo that was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 became a staple in 50,000 American households alone within four years. The ‘steam locomotive’ that crossed the North American continent reached a top speed of 120km/h, i and an average speed of 88km/h. And the public spectator sports frenzy, the Pro Baseball National Leaque, was born in 1876, and the first champion team was the “Chicago White Sox”. The race horse “Domino” was the champion of the Kentucky Derby in 1891, and reigned undefeated as the “Black Whirlwind”. And in the first international Olympics that opened in Athens, Greece in 1896, each sport had “prize money” despite strict amateur regulations. #1 THE STEEL BALL RUN - PRESS CONFERENCEé . rs me ri geetHE’S PICKING THIS...THIS \ UP SPEED...

And since distance is also measured in Miles and Yards, it’s hard for us Japanese to get a feel for it in an instant. Thus, in Steel Ball Run, all units of measurement are in Metric for the Japanese readers to easily understand, and weight is shown in ; Kilograms instead of pounds and fi ounces. Money is shown in Dollars, but its monetary value is shown in modern standards. The reason for this is that payment for a full day's work in 1890 could have been $1, thus we wouldn't be sure if $10,000 is a lot of money or not. Therefore, $50,000,000 is about ¥5,000,000,000 in modern Japan.iy Lu a. oa. Lu Ni 2 ce >= os a +HYOU MEAN THAT DIRTY OLD HAG WHO SITS AROUND PURING THE SUMMER?
