[H]e’s like a mythical character to me, because it’s such a long time ago and he was God to baseball. I shouldn’t be compared to him, at least not right now.

Japan wins World Baseball Classic

March 22, 2023

Congratulations to Japan on winning the World Baseball Classic championship! And congrats, as well, to Shohei Ohtani on earning MVP honors. As a United States citizen and resident, I was naturally rooting for the USA to repeat, but I certainly can’t be mad about Japan taking the title. The whole nation is so passionate about baseball, and they produce some amazing ballplayers.
