The Boston Red Sox are the talk of the Hot Stove League
because they're about to spend over $100 million for a
Japanese pitcher. An interesting sidebar to that story
is the Japanese fascination with blood type. Apparently
asking about someones blood type in Japan is like asking
about someones astrological sign here in the States.
Japanese baseball cards, along with the usual height,
weight, bats, throws etc. also include blood type. The
best baseball players are apparently Type O.

I'm B+ so according to the theory I'm creative, passionate,
optimistic, a flexible individualist and a great cook.

HOLY **** !! Did they ever hit *that* nail on the head !!
