Not my eyes. I don't care.

Probably another in a long line of Japanese MLB busts.

Well, you obviously cared enough to comment.
Based on what? The success rate of Japanese players in MLB is about 50-50, so he's equally likely to do well as he is to falter.

Fun sports fandom is exemplified by Ichiro superfan Amy, whose homemade Ichimeter became an inseparable symbol of the man's success.
Tossing fun-loving Amy out of the way, an uncaring newcomer holds up a "Kickuchi" sign and is led to the exit by stadium security, where she meets up with an older gent boycotting MLB until they reinstate the pre-1990s ban on hiring players from Japan.
