The Shibuya Crossing is one of the most famous spots in Tokyo; I wrote a bit about it the other day. But it’s not just in random stores in Shibuya where you see images of Shohei Ohtani.

    • A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1948
    Dutch Leonard | Getty Images Once again in this year, the Cubs got a guy who might have helped them... if they had only kept him. After having a winning season in 1946, following their 1945 pennant, the Cubs dropped back under .500 in 1947. This led to a bunch of wheeling and dealing, mostly on waiver claims that didn’t work out. But there were some significant trades made by the team in 1...2024

    Photo by Eric Espada/Getty Images He’s said to be the best NPB pitcher ever to come to MLB. Until recently, the Cubs have not had much luck with signing players from Nippon Pro Baseball (NPB) in Japan. Kosuke Fukudome was (mostly) a bust. Kyuji Fujikawa and Koji Uehara, forgettable relievers. The Cubs did get some good performance from Yu Darvish, but he was a known quantity in MLB before ...2023
