Matsuzaka never delivered the goods but got rich
I watched him dominate Koshien and saw a future superstar. Then he went to the States, got fat and started complaining about the workouts. Bit of Irabu Syndrome. What a shame. But he got rich-that is for sure. When he comes back to Japan and is still ineffective, what will happen to the legend?

Mainichi News publishes thank you invoking Kenji Miyazawa
The Mainichi News published this one page thank you, invoking Kenji Miyazawa the poet-he not only lived through the previous Tohoku earthquake, more importantly his stories have been the source of hopes and dreams for Japanese children for years. In times of adversity, teachers, parents and kids go back to Kenji Miyazawa and especially his story Travels Through the Milky Way for inspiration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Miyazawa

Hideki Matsuyama is a class act
He is only 19, but played with poise and confidence under the cloud of the disaster in his hometown. AND he tied at one under, the lowest score for an amateur, tied with Phil Mickelson.

I have visited Kamaishi a few times when Nippon Steel was still the biggest employer and its rugby team ruled Japan. This article really brings out the "flavor" of the area-a treasure.
