Japanese player has the craziest, funniest, wildest at-bat ritual
If you have the sound off on your computer, turn it on.
I’ll wait.
This video of a Japanese baseball player and his interesting antics in the batter’s box is best viewed with the audio of the band playing while he’s at the plate.
Funny stuff, although I don’t think that would fly in the majors for two reasons:
1. The pace of play rules.
2. He’d get hit by a pitch.
Someone on Twitter posted this video, too:
