MLB(Major League Baseball) World Series

I am a Baseball fan and I watched the World Series on TV.
(Baseball is still most popular sports here in Japan)

The Boston Red Sox captured their second World Series title in four years, completing a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 4-3 victory.



Most baseball fans would say that Josh Becket who got 20 wins and David Ortiz who got 35 HR have led the team to the world champion.




Do you know two Japanese rookie pichers: Daiske Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima?





They also greatly contributed to the World Series title.


I think that Red Sox would not win the world Series title without them.


Do you agree?

I am also convinced that the level of Japanese pichers is almost the same as that of MLB.

What do you think about the level of Japanese pichers?

To be honest with you, I never got keen on F1 and never watched F1 on TV till last month.
But, I've got a friend who really loves F1.
Every time I met her, she always talked enthusiastically about F1.
I've heard about no secret of the battle of Lewis Hamilton and Alonso in McLaren...
So I am getting interested in F1 now.

If you know any interesting story of F1, let me know here.

I heard that some F1 drivers smoke cigars after they spray champaign.

Have you ever heard of it?
