Card Of The Week July 22

Sho Nakata of the Fighters had an interesting at bat in Game One of the All Star Series on Friday - he managed to hit the roof of Osaka Dome (yeah, I know it has a corporate name now) with what became a ground rule double.  Here's the video (via Yakyu Baka):



Here's Nakata's first card, from the 2008 BBM Rookie Edition set (#36):

Hey,

This guy really gets his hips into the swing. It seems like he is trying to drive the ball instead of the usually slapping of the ball.

Isn't this different than many of the Japanese Players?

Nice!
