 Years of neglect were taking its toll on Mori. While most people might think that life is all bliss and hookers when you are the catcher for the Japan Robins, Mori would tell you a different story. When it comes time to put names in the paper, the press always looks to the usual suspects: RF Toyota, the flashiest, speediest, cockiest guy on the team. While most people are still scratching out a name for themselves, Toyota gets all the fame and non-English-speaking babes. Then there's Oh and Kagenu, 1B and LF respectively. The 3 and 4 hitters on the team, these guys are the Big Men on Campus. You haven't lived until you've been to a party involving these two, as Oh usually ends up biting the tops of off of 24 consecutive beer cans and Kagenu sets a new record for longest keg-stand (current record: 7 minutes, 44 seconds) But you're not Toyota, Kagenu, Mori, or even Fuji, the homosexual pitcher. It would be better to be Fuji, because at least he gets other people in hotel room when on the road. No, you're Mori, and not only don't you score on or off the baseball field, but you have to catch for Fuji and who knows what the hell he is loading the ball up with. Sick and tired of your overlooked status and suspicious looks when you tell everyone that Fuji is your battery-mate, you decide to take out your frustrations. After an embarassing loss to the Lovely Ladies where you let by four passed balls and Gina kicked you in the nose, you snap and take action into your own hands. To strangle Fuji, turn to page 24 |
