Nippon, cha, cha, cha !! Part II

I've been here(USA) for so long so that I don't even know one player of Japanese National Baseball team. I didn't even know Ichiro or Hideki "Gozila" Matsui till they actually got here in states. I know MN Twins roster more than Tokyo Yomiuri Giants(my favorite Japanese Baseball team) now. What I know is, in picture, they maybe doing something you've never seen before.
it is called " DO-A-GE:dO-&-ge" (Body Flying) . it's the way of Japanese celebration. bunch of people make circle around one person. then give him(her) push into the air. sort of body surfing but only up & down, not side by side. and one more thing. the people in the air. now He is true "Home Run King of the world" himself ( I know, there's a lot of MLB fan disagree but...)
"Sadaharu Oh". I watched him every night when I was kid. man, that was long time ago. yep, that was good day. Japanese Baseball has come long way from nobody to top of the world. " In Your Face MLB !!!!" I'm kidding. I still love MLB.

I guess it was just matter of time. Now a day, trade is for "Get Rid Of Players".
not any more for up-grading the team. Minnesota sports scene was so much fun in 2003~2004. Twins was winning, We had Randy, MV3 and Zoo Crew (T-Wolves) was roaring Western Conference...... now what happen ? Everybody has gone. There is rumor that KG is seeking way out of Minnesota. Well, I don't believe that. because KG is not Daunte. He will gladly end his carrier with T-Wolves without Championship Ring. He wants to earn his ring, not giving to him.
wait ? I was writing about Daunte ..... who cares !!! He's gone. I didn't want him anyway !! but if T-wolves give up KG, I will not watch Minnesota sports team any more. Unless Lynx try to get Lindsy Whalem with trading their draft No. 1 pick over all . if that happen I swear to GOD. I will buy season tickets on that day !
