Streak gets lost in translation

The Baltimore Sun

A Japanese reporter approached me in the press box before yesterday's game and asked about the significance of the numbers hanging on the warehouse. I explained The Streak to him, and then he wanted to confirm whether 2,632 was a record.

And yes, I spoke slowly and at a higher volume, figuring I would be more easily understood. Never makes sense to do it, but I'm as guilty as anyone.

Alex Rodriguez told reporters Saturday night that the Orioles are pitching him carefully and he's probably had one good pitch to hit in three days. One?

A-Rod dined at Pazo after the game. And I'm fairly certain he was accompanied by his wife, if anyone cares.
