At times in my life I have been vain enough to imagine my name up in lights, embossed upon a novel or even typed beneath the head of a newspaper column. A good one, I mean.
But never had I imagined my name where I see it now -- printed on the back of a Tokyo Giants jersey.
Meet Joe Dillon. And he is no ordinary Joe. Rather he is the new foreign slugger for the baseball team with the most rabid fan base in all of sports. The Giants are, in fact, hard to be neutral about. Either you love them or -- if you have any brains at all -- you hate them. Like I said, it's hard to be neutral.
