Blaine's latest

Another day, another front-page story!

The latest (on Wednesday) is about the skyrocketing popularity of Major League Baseball in Japan because of players like the Boston Red Sox' Daisuke Matsuzaka and Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki.

The story has great play on A1 - and click here (find the March 26 edition if you read this at a later date) to see the front page with a neat photo of a lady in kimono.

As my Boston relatives know, the World Champion Red Sox are in Tokyo for their opening 2 games vs. the Oakland A's. Blaine and Ako returned from Hokkaido a few hours early to attend Tuesday night's season opener, in which Dice-K and Hideki Okajima pitched and the Red Sox won in the 10th inning.
