I just got back from a trip to Tokyo and the night life over there was the best I ever experienced. You could literally go to a night club in Tokyo, pay like 20 bucks to get wasted and then walk like 5 seconds later and pay less than 5 dollars to hit some balls in a batting cage/arcade.

It opened my eyes to how lacking Boston seriously is. How does Boston (a city whose whole identity is tied to a game where you hit a ball with a stick) not have anywhere you can casually hit some balls with a stick during a night out.

Edit: To everyone saying Boston Bowl the batting cages there were closed. I went on April 26th 2024 and they only had like one machine and it was broken so no Boston Bowl does not count. That batting cage is utter dookie. The Japanese figured out how to make a reliable and cheap batting cage with many different options on pitches and speeds. Why can't we figure this out, this is Boston is it really that hard to figure out how to hit baseballs. People better shut up about "go Sox!" When there's no where to hit baseballs.
