“His press corp is bigger than mine,” Bush joked. “And we both have trouble answering questions in English.”

A quote from (soon to be former!!) President Bush regarding Daisuke Matsuzaka when the Red Sox went to the White House.

One thing the average Joe might not know about Japan is that they are so obsessed with baseball that they have made it into their national pastime. Instead of national leagues, however, all eyes are always turned to high school baseball teams, and you wouldn’t believe how dedicated and how seriously the players take their teams.

It’s kind of funny how I interned in Boston and saw lots of Matsuzaka jerseys, and now I’m in Japan and see lots of Red Sox gear…
