World leaders play in a different ball game. They know it’s just a game played at the highest level and they have a kind of mutual respect. There is an unspoken rule that world leaders don’t throw each other under the bus. It’s why you can see heads of state of opposite sides of rivalries sitting at a table or calling on the phone and making small talk and joking with each other.
When two baseball teams play each other, everyone is playing their hardest and trying anything they can to win in the game. Once the game is over, everyone shakes hands and maybe invites each other to a bar for a drink.
For Hirohito, it was, “we have you beat, sorry you lost, but good game.”
