Re: New M's Manager is........
Wakamatsu is the first major-league manager of Asian descent, his father being a third generation Japanese-American born in a detention camp near the California-Oregon border during the World War II. But this may not mean much on the language front, since Wakamatsu himself admits he only speaks a smattering of that tongue.

Re: New M's Manager is........
This should add a new term to the baseball lexicon. When a manager makes what seems to be a nonsensical decision fans will be able to say "That move is Wakamatsu."

Re: New M's Manager is........
After doing some more research, it looks like Wakamatsu was drafted by the Reds in the 11th round of the 1985 draft. He made it as far as Double-A Chattanooga and then moved on to the White Sox organization and went 7-for-31 with the Sox in 31 atbats in 1991.

Re: New M's Manager is........
I remembered him as a Tiger. I was wrong. I was hoping like heck I'd open this to find Dusty had been "stolen". I'll keep wishing.
