International Pastime: Daisuke Matsuzaka Is a Star

International Pastime will look at baseball's influence outside the U.S. This is the first ever post in the series. Hooray!

In the wake of his moderately dominating debut performance yesterday, here's a Dice-K commercial from Japan. It's a neat little spot, sort of a dream sequence of all of the things that probably run through Daisuke's mind every time he suits up to pitch. Interesting stuff.

Like the Baseball Prospectus post says: You can't have too much Matsuzaka.
