Personally, I think this post is long overdue, but better late than never, I suppose.

5.  Masato Yoshii – One of my favorites.  Won 18 games for the Mets over 2 years before heading off to the Rockies.  He had a soft smile and a hard hand shake.  I will not forget those qualities.

4.  Kaz Matsui -  The only Asian or Non Asian player to hit a home run in his first plate appearance for three years in a row.  He fooled us into thinking we might have something here.  We didn’t, he sucked.  Wound up tearing his anus in 2008.  Ouch.

3.  Jae Soe – By Default

2.  Tsuyoshi Shinjo – Born in Japan and raised in Fukuoka, Shinjo warmed New York fans up with his orange dyed hair.  He also stole Davey Johnson’s #5.  Bold move for an Asian who is new to this land.  I don’t like that he did it, but I like the marbles. 

1.  Benny Agbayani -  Hit a big home run against the Giants in the post season.  Always appeared to look fatter than he really was, I think.  Some may say he’s in fact Hawaiian, but he falls under this category for a number of reasons, including his game winning Grand Slam against the Cubs on opening day in Tokyo.

Hello folks,

We’ll be tailgating/drinking heavily starting at 5:30 in the Citi Field parking lot this Friday.  Feel free to come by as there are a bunch of Murphaholics joining us.

Check picture below to see where we’ll be.  Look for the people wearing Oh Murph stuff.
