Bostic Hog Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 When Irabu came to the US, I lived in Rochester, NY - home of the Rochester Red Wings. Irabu came to town for his first AAA start with the Columbus whatevers. The media frenzy was like nothing I've ever seen. I don't even remember how he pitched that night, but I can say I was at his first AAA game. RIP, Hideki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a tremendous bust, and a sad ending to a sad story, all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
