Taking in the sites with new friends.


Bobby and Ed Wyatt, SBS TV, an Australian national network


Conveying to the kids of Australia "Responsibility, Respect and Reality." In between practice and my workout out I talked to about 100 primary school boys and girls. I talked and answered questions for about 30 minutes and really had a lot of fun talking baseball in a non baseball community.


Autograph time with the kids!


A baby kangaroo is called a joey.


Adorable koalas!


Larry Rocca and his new pet!


Everyone's favorite animal!

The animals were brought to the park by the wonderful people from the Jirrahlinga Koala & Wildlife Sanctuary in Barwon Heads, Victoria.

Thank you again, Australia!

    Dear Bobby

    We can understand that you really enjoyed staying in Geelong by these photos. People in Geelong were very kind for us when I had stayed in there ,too. So I had visited Australia threee times. If Marines spring training would be hold in there next year, I would like to visit there.

    To Bobby, his wonderful management group and all the fantastic Chiba Lotte team members and crew : Thank you very much! You were the very best kind of guests - we had fun, you taught us how to be better hosts and created many new friendships along the way - you expressed constant appreciation and never wore out your welcome. We hope for your return. All the best for 2006. Do it again!!

    ジーロンでのキャンプでは本当にたくさんの方々に支えられていたのですね!
    ジーロン市役所のプレス リリースも読みました!
    是非、千葉とジーロンが姉妹都市で結ばれたらいいなぁ・・・。
    私もジーロンに行ってみたいです!

    コアラもボビースマイルもカワイイ!!!

    (I see that there were so many people that made Geelong a success.
    I also checked out the Geelong City press release!
    It would be great if Chiba and Geelong could become sister cities…
    I really want to check out Geelong!

    The picture of the koala and you and your trademark smile are so cute!!!)

    監督こんばんわ。
    いい写真ばかりですね。
    キャンプも最終クールにはいりましたね。
    体に気をつけて頑張ってください。

    (Good evening, Kantoku.
    Great pictures all.
    You looked cool that last day of camp in Geelong.
    Take care of yourself and do your best.)

    ボビーは細かいところにも感謝の気持ちを忘れないんですねロッテが強くなった理由がかいま見れました

    (You have a great attention to detail and its great that you extend gratitude to other. Now I see why the Marines are so strong.)

    ボビーこんばんは。 前からブログはみていましたが書き込むのは初めてです。
    オーストラリアの動物たちはカワイイですね。
    私は関東に住んでいるのですが、球団はないので今まではあんまり野球見てなかったし、正直ルールも知りませんでした。
    でも、去年のプレイオフからなんとなく見始めてはまってしまいました。
    ルールも勉強したので、今年はマリンに応援にいきます。
    チケット買ってオープン戦に行きたいと思います。

    (Good evening, Bobby. I’ve been checking out your blog from the beginning but this is my first time to write.
    The animals of Australia are very cute.
    I live in the Kanto region and because there are no baseball teams in the immediate area I never went out to watch the game nor do I know the rules well.
    But starting last year during the play offs I have started watching games.
    I have learned the rules of the game and now, this year, I am actively cheering on the Marines.
    I will hopefully get a ticket to see the opening game.)
