Fan balloons back at Japan ballpark

KOSHIEN, Japan - Baseball spectators release balloons during a game at Koshien Stadium on June 26 for the first time since mid-May. Baseball fans had refrained from the practice since an outbreak of the new strain of influenza A in Japan in May for fear of spreading it via saliva. The government declared on June 26 that Japan is now safe from the disease.
