I was fortunate to have David Ortiz,Ichiro Suzuki and Tadahito Iguchi on my fantasy baseball team. I recall checking their batting performances every day but never once checked on their nationality. As a manager I wanted the best player on the field and as an owner I would want a player who loved the game and would be pleased when the fans responded to superior play. I think anyone who watched Tadahito hit the homerun yesterday saw his unbridled enthusiasm for the game and I bet the Chicago White Sox fans could have cared less what his nationality was!!
