Japan took the World Baseball Classic title just a couple of days ago and the pride has been in full effect with my students and their families. Lots of the younger boys are crazy about baseball and refer to themselves as some of their favourite players. Ichiro performed well in the final game after struggling through most of the tournament. One of Japan's ace pitchters Yu Darvish (Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters) showcased his talent on an international stage. Interestingly enough he's half-Iranian, half-Japanese and still only 22 years old. Keep a lookout for his name as he will undoubtedly make a break for the MLB as he will be coveted by a number of title contending teams.
