The Yomiuri Giants have won the last 37 times Shinnosuke Abe has homered at Tokyo Dome.
That's an impressive streak, even if it is aided by a number of circumstances, not least of which the fact the Kyojin are normally very good at home. Yomiuri is 19-5-1 in home games this season.
The Giants' run of good fortune when Abe goes yard began July 4, 2010, against the Hanshin Tigers. Abe homered against Tigers starter Casey Fossum in his first at-bat of that game, a 10-2 Giants victory.
