From the Associated Press:
Boston Red Sox pitchers Daisuke Matsuzaka, left, and Hideki Okajima pose in their dugout at Fenway Park in Boston Tuesday, April 24, 2007 with students from Showa Boston, from left, Ayano Muroi, Erika Gomi and Michiko Sogawa, after they presented the players sets of Senbazuru, which consist of 1,000 paper cranes tied together. In Japan, Senbazuru are sometimes used to wish a sports team well and may be hung in the dugouts of baseball teams.
Baseball in Boston, or anywhere in the U.S. ain't never going to be the same. And I kind of like the international flavor. I like the Latin players, and now the surge of Japanese. Remember when baseball went to Canada, years ago? To Toronto and Montreal? It's ain't American, some people said.
I like knowing Senbazuru will be in the dugouts. How about a shrine to Buddha in the corner, with some incense burning, right next to the box of sunflower seeds and Skoal?
