  • Daisuke Matsuzaka was turned into a celebrety because before he came here no one knew him from outside of japan.
  • Ichiro Suzuki was also from Japan and came in 2001 but he played with the Seattle Mariners.
  • Suzuki was a good ball player and he was the main cause so many new players had come from Japan.
  • Base-Ball players get paid up into the millions.
