With the bases loaded, one out, and Alex Cabrera on third base, a line drive foul ball hit Cabrera on the right foot, fracturing the little toe. The pain was unbearable and the big slugger was removed from the game for a pinch runner. The fracture was revealed at a local Osaka hospital later that evening. While the trainer is saying that Cabrera will most likely be out for two months, manager Ohishi would like Cabrera back in the lineup after one month.
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
