Not that I really care. Just looked at the last name and broke out into tears and laughter. His name sounds like a line from "Austin Powers" LOL Smile

LAMO... It really does sound like an Austin Powers name.

I think that we should hand the sport over to Japan and the Latin Countries.

I agree. It should be a rule in Pro sports. US or Canadian born only.

Is he a powerhitter, like Hideki Matsui? If so...does he see the loss of power like Matsui did?
