********************
Tanaka Masahiro went to the U.S. a couple of weeks ago looking for a new team. Many MLB teams wanted him for the next season. He talked to different teams, but he finally decided to play for the New York Yankees. They offered him the highest salary, and they told him that he would be a regular starting pitcher when the season opens. He will join two other Japanese players on the team: Kuroda Hiroki and Suzuki Ichiro. The Yankees will have three great Japanese players on their team! (by Professor Douglas Jarrell)
