I went to Naruohama stadium today. This studium is the Hanshin Tigers' minor stadium.
Why did I go to this stadium? I want to see Matt Morton.

Matt Morton profile
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/murtoma01.shtml

Drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 1st round (32nd pick) of the 2003 amateur draft. Player signed July 8, 2003.

He belongs to the Hanshin Tigers since 2010. He also have a Japanese hit record.
He broke Ichiro Suzuki's hit record in 2010.

After his practice, I called him "Morton!!"
He came to a bleacher. It was very close. I'm a huge fan of him, I was really excited.
He gave me his autograph but my silver pen was bad, It paled out on his autographed cap.

I think he will go back to MLB end of the season because his relations with Tigers' coaches became bad.

Today, he hit a home run, I could see it. It was very a nice memory.

his conversation with audience was very funny.

Audience: Mr. Murton

Murton : Hey buddy

Audience: Go Murton

Murton: Ookini (It means Thank you!! Osaka dialect) Atsuikara kio tsuketeya (It's really hot today, Take care!!( He said Japanese)

He's really nice guy. If he leave the Hanshin Tigers then I'll miss him.
I have to go another game.
