Fernando Seguignol towered over a group of people huddled near one of the batting cages on the field at Tokyo Dome, where the Yomiuri Giants' Leslie Anderson was getting his work in prior to a game against the Hiroshima Carp earlier this week.
The former NPB slugger looked as fit as ever at 39 years old and even dressed in a simple-button front shirt and slacks he looked like he could step into cage and crank a few over the fence himself.
Seguignol has been retired for a few seasons, so his time in the batter's box is over. Now he spends his days looking for players like Anderson in his role as an international scout for the Giants, which is why he's currently back in Japan for a brief visit.
