After that, I would love to see the Shibua(?) intersection, sounds pretty cool. Late in the evening, I think I'll probably end up in the Shinjuko(?) area to take in the night life. The Tsukiji fish market sounds like a pretty cool thing to see - what do you think? I think it would be cool to see one of the shrines, or one of the parks/gardens.
Any suggestions on a whole timeline? Like catch a baseball game first, then nightlife/city type stuff. Then sleep (if I need to and have the time). I know the fish market is only an early AM thing, maybe see a shrine and back to the airport? I'd really love to see some sumo wrestling - I just think that would be a lot of fun and something you don't ever get to see here in the Midwest states.
Thanks again.

Sumo is over about 5pm, even it even is taking place in Tokyo at that time (like was stated, one tourney just started, and there are only 6 a year).
The Shibuya "scramble" intersection is just that, an intersection. It is an experience, but with only 21 hours, I wouldn't make it a priority.
I know the Tsujiki fish market opens early in the morning, not sure how late they are open. Giants baseball games tend to be well attended, and if there is a game that day it will be a playoff game. I wouldn't count on getting in.
