-Tomorrow, I'm gonna steal Nagashima Kazushige's home run ball at the Tokyo
Dome!!
Translator Note - Nagashima Kazushige is a real-life player who's already
retired. Had a rough career, read all about it in Wikipedia. You can see when
this comic was published because he's depicted as being on the Yakult Swallows,
which was during the initial draft in 1988.
-Mmf!
-DO-YOU-KNOW-WHAT-YOU-JUST-DID!?!
-WHAT~~!?!
-He said he's going to steal Kazushige's home run ball?!
112
-The Kid said so himself!

nameplate: Announcer Sasaki
-All eyes will be on player Nagashima Kazushige...
-However, since his entry in June, he hasn't made a single hit, let alone a home
run...
-His batting average is .176...
-Since no one can tell whether he'll hit a home run in the first place, exactly
how will Kid claim his prize?

-Cameraman, yoo-hoo! Over here, left stand!
-Take a look at all these officers lined up!
-Let's take a moment to interview them!
-Good evening. I'm Nakamori, the presiding officer.
-Would you give us a word on your strategy, Inspector?
-Just send Hara to bat and the Giants will win the game!
-W-What?
-You gotta admit, Nagashima-san, Kid is really getting fanfare out there
tonight!
-Just like a certain player out there on the field, you mean!
Translator Note - Nagashima's dad was a famous player, retired to be a
sportscaster as seen here.
-Ah, you must mean the player up to bat: Nagashima Kazushige!
-But he's already down two strikes!!
-Here's the pitch by Kuwata!
116
-STRIKE THREE!
-Nagashima strikes out!!
-A~aa...
-I guess Kid just lost his treasure...
-But you have to admit that was a nice swing!
-Hara lands a hit!!
117
-Oh!
-Eek!
-Uwa!!
-Huh?
-Geh!!

-Dummy!
-You're the Kaitou Kid, ain'cha?
-Y-Yeah...
124
-The Kaitou Kid
-never lets his treasure get away!
-Right?
-Yeah!
-It's the bottom of the 9th, two outs, and Nagashima's at the plate!
-Will he be the last one to bat?
-And we still haven't seen any sign of the Kid!
