Korean baseball games may have been stepping it up in the “viral first pitch” department in the last month or so, but Japan just saw them their backflipping, taekwondo-ing windups and raised them an army of Sadakos. You know, the creepy zombie girl who crawls out of the TV and into your nightmares in Ringu/The Ring? The stringy-hair-covered face that launched a thousand lazy haunted child ripoffs? Yes, well, that franchise is still going strong in Japan, with Sadako 3-D 2 hitting theaters this Friday (the undoubtedly superior original Sadako 3-D came out about three months ago), so to promote her latest project, the titular heroine, accompanied by three tiny look-alikes, threw the first pitch at the Chunichi Dragons and Hanshin Tigers game on Saturday. Then she collapsed and was carted away on a stretcher, because Japanese baseball games are all for confronting mortality and making your children cry if it makes a baseball game more fun to watch.
