Celebrate Baseball History with the 2025 Suntory Dream Match Charity Auction

LINE Yahoo! Corporation is launching one of Japan's largest online auction events, the "Suntory Dream Match 2025 Charity Auction." This initiative aims to support youth in baseball across Japan. The auction showcases uniforms worn by legendary baseball players, complete with their genuine autographs, all to raise funds for a good cause.

A Legacy of Dreams and Sportsmanship

In its 29th year, the Suntory Dream Match is an exhibition game that started in 1995, inspired by the Hanshin Awaji Earthquake. The initiative embodies the spirit of conveying dreams and excitement through sports. This year, on August 4 at the iconic Tokyo Dome, we witnessed a historic face-off between The Premium Malts Team, led by manager Koji Yamamoto, and the Dream Heroes, overseen by manager Yasushi Tao, resulting in a historic draw for the first time ever.

Exciting Auction Items

The auction will feature jerseys that were worn during the 2025 match, each signed by the players. Some of the prominent players include:

• - The Premium Malts Team: Manager Koji Yamamoto, GM Isao Harimoto, and other stars such as Kozo Kawafuji, Akira Eto, and Atsuya Furuta.
• - Dream Heroes: Manager Yasushi Tao, GM Akihiko Oya, alongside players like Akio Saito, Hiroki Maki, and Alex Ramirez.

The funds raised through this auction will benefit various youth baseball initiatives, including the Connecting Hearts Catch Ball Project, organized by former professional players with the aim of teaching children the joy of playing baseball and staying active. Last year's auction was able to generate over 1.5 million yen, showcasing the community's dedication and support for future generations of baseball enthusiasts.
