* One of the first chapters of ''Manga/CityHunter'' involves Ryo shooting a boxer during a match. Notable as it's one of the very rare cases where Ryo kills a target.
* This is the entire plot of the second Izaya Orihara spin-off light novel of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. As payment for a job, Izaya is given several baseball tickets and he decides to bring along Himari, Haruto, Sozoro and Nec. While the game is going, one of the guards is found murdered and everything is thrown into chaos as everyone gets involved. The entire book takes place in one night during the baseball game and involves assassins, kidnapping, hacking and attempted murder, which unsurprisingly makes Izaya a very happy man.
