Here is Hichori Morimoto of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters accepting his Japanese Pacific League Golden Glove award. (Umm... back row, second from the left.) Just a word from the wise, Morimoto: Maybe stick to the performance art stilts and Martian or Conehead costumes. They're much less racisty, you know?

Via SimonOnSports comes this odd video from a Japanese baseball game. Odd? Japanese? You don't say! Now, I've watched this thing about nine times and what I think happens is that the batter is called out on an appeal to first, but because the ball bounced and the catcher never tagged him, the runner is awarded the four bases safely for a "strikeout homerun." Again, I think. I really have no fucking clue.
