Gyroball

One of my personal credos states that attending Major League Baseball games is always fun. In spite of the frigid temperature, Thursday's game was one of the most entertaining spectacles I've witnessed at Kauffman Stadium. Daisuke Matsuzaka's debut was stellar; his gyroball made the Royals look like chumps. And Zach Greinke's fragile constitution didn't let the Royals' pitcher down. Better still was the tremendous display of kawaii in the stands. Dozens of young ladies like the two pictured here brought signs to the game. I don't know if they were Dice-K fans or if they simply hoped to be featured on the live Japanese broadcast. I do know, however, why local boys found them irresistible.
