Norihiro Nakamura Rounds the Bases
It's kind of crazy to think that professional athletes can participate in the Olympics, but there you go. It's fact and it's history now. It's a bloody wonder why Japan took this long to send a full-squad of their professional league players when Cuba's been doing so since 1992, sending our favourite magic Cuban Orlando Hernandez to pitch in Barcelona; and wasn't he magnificent then? I can understand why the Major League teams in America won't but those teams do have their heads in their own Universe. The thing is, International Baseball is such different fun, with such diverse styles of play and each game result counting for so much. It's like the play-offs. Clutch play is everything.
