MLB begins in just two weeks
I’m not sure when the Korean season begins, but my Kia Tigers will be moving in to their new Champions Field. Today’s photo isn’t from Gwangju though. This is the home stadium of the Lotte Giants in Busan. One of the Giants hit this ball off the wall.
Ryan Riga named Big Ten “Pitcher of the Week”
Ryan Riga throws complete-game shutout
@Ryan_Riga44 Perhaps this wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Oregon couldn’t hit, but they can. They scored 20 runs on the next night.
Freshman phenom Matt Krook
Oregon Ducks Baseball
Matt Krook
@OregonBaseball @krook_daddy This past Saturday evening I watched this freshman pitcher strike out 10 in just 5.1 innings. He only gave up one hit too. However, the Ducks couldn’t score. The next night they scored 20 runs. Go figure.
Andrew Moore building on his fantastic Freshman year
Andrew Moore
Oregon State University baseball
After being chosen as one of only three Freshman All Americans last season, Moore has actually pitched even better in the early part of his Sophomore year. 7 2/3 shutout innings last night lowered his ERA to just 0.79 for 2014.
Kikkoman in Yankee Stadium
Kikkoman ad in Yankee Stadium
Today’s photo is of my seat in Yankee Stadium back in the summer of 2012. I was in the first row of the second deck right behind the Kikkoman advertisement (from which I took this photo) until I couldn’t take the heat anymore and moved to a similar location on the first base side in the shade. It was over 100 degrees and very humid–hence the empty seats in the sun.
Look for many more Japanese advertisements in Yankee Stadium this summer as the arrival of Masahiro Tanaka (田中 将大) means there will likely be more people watching Yankee games in Japan than in New York.
