Today I did something I never really did before in life -- watch baseball! And it wasn't just any game. It was the awesome World Baseball Classic, played between Japan and Korea! I started watching during the 6th inning but from then on I was stuck (thanks RJ for teaching me baseball basics real quick). Anyway. JAPAN WON that crazy game in a 10th inning "overtime." It truly was intense.
Anyway, I now proclaim Ichiro Suzuki as my baseball hero. He really did carry his team to victory. He's such a crazy batter! But what I learned tonight post-game was that he used to be a pitcher (sorry if this is old news, I'm not really up on the baseball craaze). This is a crazy video from before when he played for the Seattle Mariners:
ICHIRO'S AMAZING THROW
There was even a commercial made in his honor:
But he really is great.
I'm glad he was able to take Japan to victory when Yu Darvish couldn't hold it down with his pitches (I'm innately a Japan fan because they created Hello Kitty. JK!.. Sorta). But I forgive him because Yu Darvish is my new Asian celebrity crush.
Mm, check out that jawline. Sexy. (;
