Big Cheese-san?

With all the clamoring about the foreign players potentially heading west again, Kenny thought Kenny should go see some of these players in action. Not since Sithas Kawasaki came over has there been so much buzz. The Elvish leagues (frequently confused with the Japanese leagues who send their players to MLB) were having an allstar exhibition where Suzuki Mazdahonda was pitching for the Silvanesti and facing a Qualinesti lineup of all-stars that included longtime star Lorac Hyundai, brothers Gilthanas and Porthios Toyota and the venerable half-breed Tanis Subaru-Smith. How did Mazdahonda fare? After Tanis reached base on a passed ball strikeout, an unfazed Mazdahonda proceeded to strikeout Hyundai and the brothers Toyota for a clean sweep of the inning. But that is not the amazing part. For Kenny, the amazing part was seeing an incognito Big Cheese furiously taking notes while sitting next to his accountant. Not to start any rumors, but could the Big Cheese be preparing for a bid on the star pitcher's services? Calls to the Big Cheese's offices went unreturned and his answering machine mumbled something about a robot.

I smell some bidding wars

One of the greatest pitchers on the planet, Suzuki Mazdahonda, is compared to Portland's Lee Harvey Oswalt. In addition, the Japanese lefthanded jawa Kei Ijawa will look to join an APBA team.
