- For the Toronto BlueJays to take an advertisement in the newspaper urging fans to come to the season opener against the Yankees... and BOO a specific opposing baseball player... is poor sportsmanship.
Yup. That [stinks]. I wonder if anyone actually will boo him (unless he actually does something worth booing about... which I don't think he will, since he seems to be one of the all-time nice guys).

For a team to actually do that is a disgrace. I guess they thought that encouraging the fans to boo the Yankees in general would be seen as anti-American like the hockey fans in Montreal so they tried to target Matsui. They should promote their own good players like Holladay and Hinske.

Of course, if Matsui had signed with the Phillies, he wouldn't need to leave his home park to be abused.
And New York can be pretty unforgiving if a player doesn't meet expectations. Remember the way Abbott got treated?
After my time in Japan, I root for all the Japanese players - so it's good to be a Dodgers' fan (and I'm glad Irabu is gone, since he was difficult to root for).

Well it's the D*** Yankees. With success comes hatred.
So be it.
So be it.
About
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.

It's just some lame gimick the BlueJay front office used in trying to sell more tickets, because no one in Canada would actually wanna see the home team play.
I hope GODZILLA ATTACKS TORONTO!!!!!
