When Brian O¡¯Grady says something, believe it.

The Seibu Lions player was struggling just over a week ago when he went on social media to assure fans things would get better.

O¡¯Grady then spent the ensuing week making good on his word on the field against the Yomiuri Giants and Hiroshima Carp to help the Lions wrap up interleague play on a high note. Instead of speaking to fans through social media again on Sunday, O¡¯Grady stood in front of them on the hero interview podium after a two-home run afternoon against the Carp in an 11-0 win at Belluna Dome.
