オールスター投手Okie dokie誕生！

レッドソックスGM,テオ・エプスタインの祝福の辞。
It's been great to see," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "He's been a vital member of the bullpen and of the team since we broke camp in April. He didn't have his curveball in Spring Training. And instead of worrying about it, he went out and further developed his changeup, and made that a plus-plus pitch for him. Now he's got his curveball back, he's locating his fastball on both sides and showing great makeup on the mound as well. So he's done an excellent job."

Okajima gets his moment(Projo SoxBlog)

The big board here at Fenway just flashed the announcement that Hideki Okajima had won Final Vote, and as he received a standing ovation from the crowd (and with Denise Williams' 80s classic "Let's hear it for the boy" being played), Okajima stood up in the bullpen with a big smile on his face.

He brought his hands together and bowed to every corner of the field, at least a dozen times during the prolonged ovation.
