WBC 2023

アメリカ相手の決勝，アメリカの今大会大当たりのターナー選手に
先制弾叩き込まれたときは嫌な感じでしたが，「村神様」がすぐに
お返しのソロホームラン。更に岡本和真選手のソロホームランを含む追加点。
8回ダルビッシュ投手が1発浴びて，1点差になったときはまずいかなあと
思いましたが，9回，ついに，大谷翔平投手登板，
2アウトランナーなしから，トラウト選手との対決，フルカウントからの
スライダーで三振。すごい結末でした。
Amazon Prime Videoで観戦していたので，
テレビ中継に比べて，ラグがあったので，
動画で大谷投手が最後の1球を投げる前に，
ご近所さんから歓声が聞こえました(笑)。

space
Etymology
Noun Middle English, from Anglo-French espace, space, from Latin spatium area, room, interval of space or time
Cosmos and the Universe
Cosmos often simply means "universe". But the word is generally used to suggest an orderly or harmonious universe, as it was originally used by Pythagoras in the 6th century B.C. Thus, a religious mystic may help put us in touch with the cosmos, and so may a physicist. The same is often true of the adjective cosmic: Cosmic rays (really particles rather than rays) bombard us from outer space, but cosmic questions come from human attempts to find order in the universe.
