Plus: Yoshida meets his hero -- Bryce Harper
Life is pretty good for Red Sox left fielder Masataka Yoshida these days. In the midst of a 15-game hitting streak, Yoshida got to meet his idol prior to Saturday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
That would be Bryce Harper. The same Bryce Harper that Yoshida wore No. 34 in honor of in Japan. The same Bryce Harper that led Yoshida to name his French Bulldog, "Harper."
As part of the meet-and-greet, Harper gifted Yoshida a signed, game-used bat from last year's National League Championship Series. Harper inscribed it, "To Masataka, MVPX2, GU: NLCS bat."
"Obviously that's going to be my treasure," Yoshida said. |
