Winning the inaugural World Baseball Classic, Pacific League championship, Japan Series, and Asia Series, means the 2006 season has been the best year in Michihiro Ogasawara's baseball career without any doubt.
"It's been a real long season," Ogasawara said after the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters' 1-0 win over the La New Bears in the final of the 2006 Asia Series at Tokyo Dome on Sunday night.
"At the very last event of the year, I'm pleased we became the best in Asia."
