Something in Common
My two favorite baseball teams have something in common. Both of them are in last place. The Chunichi Dragons are in last place in the Central League, and the Boston Red Sox are in last place in the American League East. Not all the news is bad though. The Red Sox’s Yoshida Masataka was named American League player of the week at the beginning of May. He had a batting average of .480 for that week and hit 2 home runs. I think many Americans first noticed him in the World Baseball Classic this spring, but Japanese baseball fans have known him since he joined the Orix Buffaloes in 2016. He has been a great batter and was one of the reasons that Orix won the Japan Series last year.
