I enjoy sports ENTERTAINMENT only to root for the asian athletes.

Since the arrival of Ichiro in 2001 and the subsequently Hideki Matsui in 2002 and finally Kaz Matsui this year, my interest in baseball has only grown. I have parsed through the forums and have learned how to enjoy this seemingly boring game. I have come to appreciate art of fine pitching. HOwever, it's not the teams that I follow, it's the players. More specifically, the asian players. There's also Byung Hyun Kim with his awesome side-winding delivery pitching for the Red Sox and that Taiwanese Rockies prospect. The other aspects of the game, I view with only cursory interest.

I suppose this makes me a promiscuous fan. I root for the Mariners, the Red Sox, the Mets, and the Yankees. A most incongruous set of teams eh?

I don't know how this has much to do with AE. I'm moving it to Sports.

I wish there were more Asians in professional wrestling.

I think there was a Japanese male who was a professional wrestler.

I forgot his name, but he was big and very buff. He had a white girlfriend wearing a kimono. So annoying.

I also have the same mentality as you do, ...cheer on the Asian athletes. This is why I have been following the Houston Rockets lately.

That's a shame. Baseball is an interesting and enriching and dynamic sport that transcends races. If you're only in it for the Asian players then you're missing the point.

I hope all the Korean players succeed, but the only statistic that reall matters in this sport is team wins and team losses. It's much more interesting to follow how a team does.

Tsuyoshi Shinjo

He's now pitching for the Nippon-ham Fighters cuz he couldn't cut it in the majors anymore.

IMHO, baseball is an incrediblely boring sport despite its diversity.
