Extractions: Web search Got tunes? It was just a matter of time before Hideki Irabu and George Steinbrenner discovered what the rest of us already knew: that even under the best conditions, making the transition from the Chiba Lotte Marines to the New York Yankees would be difficult. Under the conditions that Irabu set for himself, however, it has been darned near impossible. In a display of two-facedness that would have made the late Richard M. Nixon proud, Irabu humbly stated his dream to play baseball professionally in the United States; then, when it became evident that his dream would be realized via the San Diego Padres, he and his agent, Don Nomura, suddenly changed their tune. What Irabu had meant to say, so the story goes, was that he had dreamed of playing for the Yankees. Apparently his dream included visions of himself making outrageous demands of his prospective new employer and insisting he would not work unless those demands were met. Perhaps this is unfair of me, because I've never been a terrorist, but it seems that the only careers in which this type of behavior is tolerated and too often rewarded are terrorism and professional sports. I can count on one finger the number of seconds I would remain employed were I to place such demands on my employer. Irabu's crowning achievement came when he compared San Diego to a prison camp. I have lived in San Diego for several years, and although I have never been incarcerated, I like to think that my present living conditions are significantly better than those of a prison (unless I was in for tax evasion or embezzlement or something and got to watch TV and play golf all day).

Extractions: DiMaggio's baseball career began in 1932 with the Pacific Coast League. He played in San Francisco until 1936, when he was signed by the New York Yankees. He remained there until he retired in 1951. Mr. DiMaggio served the Yankees as one of the best outfielders ever to play the game. Nicknamed the "Yankee Clipper" for his superb fielding ability, DiMaggio also was a great offensive player as well. He set a major league record by establishing a 56 game hitting streak in 1941, which helped earn him the nickname "Joltin' Joe". DiMaggio played in 10 World Series, and was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1939, 1941 and 1947. In 1948, he led the league with 39 home runs and 155 runs batted in.

Dave Paisley In part one, we learned that the Yankees are a very even-hitting team that has no weak spots, and is actually generating more runs than their other offensive numbers would suggest. Today, we'll take a look at their pitching. Starting Rotation Coming out of spring training, the Yankees looked to have a pretty decent rotation, but with a few question marks. David Cone's shoulder health was a potential problem, but Andy Pettitte continued to establish himself as an alternate ace to Cone, only younger. David Wells has always been something of a flaky enigma, but looked like a solid number three guy. After that, it looked like Ramiro Mendoza was ready to step into the rotation, and no matter which Hideki Irabu showed up, he'd be no worse than most other teams' fifth starters. The Yankees were also potentially in the market for Randy Johnson, but the various rumors that had combinations of Pettitte or Mendoza and Mariano Rivera going to Seattle were pure pipe dreams. For whatever reason, the Yankees, despite a rocky first couple of weeks, elected to stand pat. The acquisition of Orlando Hernandez had everyone wondering what they would do with yet another starter if he turned out to be any good. Not everyone expected much at the time, given Irabu's shaky debut the year before.

Nihongo Chiba Lotte Marines history Originally owned by the Mainichi newspaper chain, the Orions were established in September 1949 and joined the Pacific League the following season. With an 81-34 record in 1950, the Orions earned the PL pennant and won the first Japan Series four games to two. Mainichi's Kaoru Betto was named Most Valuable Player after batting .335 and leading the league in home runs and RBIs. Prior to the 1958 season, the Orions merged with the Daiei Unions. A mediocre team the previous season (41-89), the Unions had been playing in various incarnations since 1946. Never a particularly strong team, Daiei peaked in 1950 with a third place 62-54 record and gradually slid out of contention. After the merger, the subsequent team became the Daimai Orions. Though Betto held the Orions together through the transition and led the team to a strong second-place 82-48 record in 1959, Daimai hired new manager Yukio Nishimoto in 1960. With MVP Yamauchi winning the home run (32) and RBI (103) crowns while Kihachi Enomoto won the PL batting title (.344), the Orions compiled a team .262 average with 100 home runs. On the mound, Masaichi Ono led the league with a 33-11 record and a 1.98 ERA while striking out 258 batters. With excellent pitching and hitting performances, the Orions captured the PL pennant but were unable to defeat the Taiyo Whales, who won the 1960 Japan Series in four games.

The group will buy 51 percent of the Pioneers from the Ervin family. The Ervins will retain a 49 percent share in the team they have owned since 1996. Steve Ervin will remain the executive vice president of the team and said the rest of the front office will also remain the same. Nomo, Irabu and Suzuki formed a company called Silex to buy the Pioneers. The team will stay in Elmira, where a professional team has played almost continuously since 1885. "This is a real shot in the arm," Ervin said. "I don't know the actual demographics, but if we're not the smallest town in the league, then we're the second. They have the resources to buy other teams but became comfortable with us."

Most readers probably believe that stories develop logically after leads have been tracked down or sources milked for facts. Sure, that can happen - but not all of the time. Take the Captain's latest, which began with a simple memo left on his desk from junior reporter Junko: The Yankees called. - Junko During a rare moment of semi-sobriety, and with a grin forming within his morning stubble, he exclaimed (rather loudly, and with both fists thrust in the air): "Just give me the ball!" In anticipation, he molded the fingers of his right hand into his four-seamer grip, all the while assuming that initially he, and his dominating curve and cutter, would be showcased in late-inning set-up situations until eventually moving into the starting rotation. Then he whipped out his glove from his desk drawer and started working the pocket with a ball. But in the end, sadly, it just wasn't to be. Later, after Junko heard the ruckus in his office, she scorned him for his hubris, mentioned that his tie was spotted with drool (amongst other things), and informed him that he was actually going to
Honolulu Star-Bulletin Sports HAWAII _ SPORTS. Tatsuno has no regrets in baseball Unlike hideki irabu, he wastrying to be a Yankee in Japan, not in New York. By Rod Ohira StarBulletin. http://starbulletin.com/97/03/11/sports/story2.html
Extractions: Star-Bulletin For the second time since 1979, a Japanese pitcher is saying no to the San Diego Padres. But unlike Hideki Irabu, Derek Tatsuno was trying to become a "Yankee" player in Tokyo, not New York. A 1966 "gentleman's agreement" that recognizes the domain of Japanese and American professional baseball clubs in their respective countries basically to prevent raiding each other's national talent pool presents a hurdle neither was able to clear. "I think what's going on now with Irabu, in a way, parallels what happened to me," said Tatsuno, a sales representative for Webco Hawaii Inc. "If his thing goes through, others are going to do the same thing." Irabu, whose 2.40 earned run average was the best in Japan's Pacific League last season, is challenging his country's reserve system, which requires a player to complete 10 pro seasons before he is eligible for free agency. The Padres acquired exclusive negotiating rights to Irabu from his Japanese team the Chiba Lotte Marines. But Irabu, 27, remains steadfast in his demand to pitch for the New York Yankees or not at all this season.
