It¡¯s raining hard at Shinbanba station in Tokyo¡¯s Shinagawa Ward. Pouring, actually, real cats-and-dogs-type stuff.
Sac Bunts is here, on the Keikyu Line platform, with Marty Kuehnert, former general manager of NPB¡¯s Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles and currently a senior GM with the B. League¡¯s Sendai 89ers, and Mark Schreiber, a frequent contributor to The Japan Times. Schreiber is the leader of this little excursion into a story involving baseball legend Sadaharu Oh and a sick child.
¡°You picked a great day,¡± Kuehnert jokes.
