１回５点も取られてどうなるかと思ったが、２回以降は投球数も少なく、１安打のみ。７点も取ってくれたので、勝利投手になる可能性も高くなった。こういう日もある。１回の投球数を、今までの平均の１６．４回とすると、５回、６回を３３球。７２球＋３３球＝１０５球。今日は６回、１０５球で勝利投手。
Boston Heraldより抜粋。
Daisuke Matsuzaka’s alma mater is one of at least 373 Japanese high schools caught up in a nationwide scandal involving improper courtesies extended to its baseball players.
Citing his policy of not speaking with the media the day before he starts, the Red Sox starter did not comment on the development, said Sachiyo Sekiguchi, a member of the club’s media relations staff.
Matsuzaka attended Yokohama High School and became a national sensation in 1998 in the national Koshien tournament.
Matsuzaka’s former professional team, the Seibu Lions, is also wrapped up in this story. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Lions are accused of paying cash to former members of the Sendai Kitagami High School team. As a result of this revelation last week, the Kitagami team is disbanding.
Matsuzaka’s Yokohama school said that it will not participate in some upcoming regional baseball tournaments.
High school baseball in Japan is as big of a phenomenon as college football or basketball is here, and when the Japanese High School Baseball Federation caught wind of tuition and admission exemptions being granted to baseball players, it sent out a survey to more than 4,800 federation members, asking if they had behaved improperly. Yokohama was one of 373 schools to file a report admitting a problem existed.

松坂はコメントのしようがない。「実は、僕も特待生でした。」と言っても、プラスにはならない。波紋を広げるだけだだ。
