This pushes softball farther along toward commercialization. The national fall tournament in October saw not only enthusiasm from the teams. The banners, signs, and even tents emblazoned with corporate logos all showed themselves on the fields. This created an embarrassing situation of big businesses competing with each other to sponsor leagues.
在今年十月間舉行的全國秋季聯賽中，隊伍參與熱切之外，幾家企業的公司旗幟、布條，以及書寫企業大名的帳篷，在會場上各顯神通，形成各家企業爭搶主辦盟主的尷尬場面。
