Home Run Heroism

Home Run Heroism is the 18th substory featured in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
==Plot==
A group of journalists are asking questions from Hanayama. One of the pressing issues they question him are about the actions of Anzai. The reporters get overly aggressive with Hanayama and end up pushing him over, which causes Ichiban to finally intervene. When Ichiban intervenes, the group of reporters run off in a scamper. After the reporters scurry off, Hanayama has a conversation with Ichiban in which he still struggles to believe that Anzai is to blame for his leg injury. He believes that the manager of the Yokohama Shark Stars put him up to the task. Hanayama believes that there is something that forced Anzai to commit this injury and he wants Ichiban to find out what exactly this was. He explains that you can likely meet Anzai at his hangout on Hamazae Street. He gives you you a Photo of Anzai in order to help recognize him more easily. Before Ichiban can leave and look for Anzai, a suspicious man appears in the background.
Outside of Cafe Brave, a group of baseball fans are heckling the man that is known as Anzai. The group of baseball fans are trying to intimidate him and proceed to beat him down. Ichiban doesn't believe this to be acceptable and decides to intervene on his behalf. After defeating the fanatics, Ichiban lets Anzai know that he knows Hanayama. Anzai explains that he knows that Hanayama still doesn't believe that he did the illegal slide, but he explains that he simply panicked. Ichiban decides that his next move is to go back to Hanayama and explain the situation.
When Ichiban goes to Hanayama, the two engage in a conversation. He explains the perspective of Anzai when another man comes up and explains that he is a journalist. He reveals that he has information about the Shark Stars manager. He reveals that this manager has been involved with many shady activities throughout the city and that the place to find him is called Rose Blossom. Ichiban then agrees to meet up with Kudo outside of Rose Blossom to find out what exactly is going on. Inside of Rose Blossom, the manager of the Sharks reveals that he knew about the foul play and this is when Ichiban and Kudo decide to confront him. Ichiban is quickly surrounded by a group of people willing to confront him. After defeating the group of enemies, Kudo says that he will write an article in order to let Anzai return to baseball. He also gives Ichiban an Old Fountain Pen as a reward. Ichiban then travels back to Anzai to let him know about what has happened.
