[edit] "Sayonara, baseball tradition"

Sayonara, baseball tradition: This March 25, 2008 blog posting by Bisher on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution website is starting to get a lot of attention, it may be notable in the future for the following, almost archaic opinions on the Japanese:

  • "Eight springs ago the Mets and Cubs opened the season, not in Cincinnati. Guess where? Tokyo. That Tokyo, the guys who gave us Pearl Harbor. Some people don’t like you to bring that up, trade with Japan is so hot. But I’ve got a long memory. I saw what a few bombs can do to our property."
  • "Oh, well, ‘scuse me. It’s just tough to get away from it when you turn on your TV in the morning there are the Boston Red Sox playing the Oakland A’s in the Tokyo Dome. Not only that, but the Red Sox pitcher is Daisuke Matsuzaka, who didn’t grow up in Wampole."
  • "A Japanese newspaper chain, Yomiuri, foots the bill for this Oriental excursion."

While its all over the sports blogs, we'll see if it gets picked up elsewhere. --Bobak (talk) 21:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
