CHICAGO -- Japanese cameramen hustled along the first-base side of Wrigley Field on Monday morning, following every step of Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda during pregame warmups.
Kuroda was on his way to meet a familiar face on the Cubs, an outfielder he played with in Japan. Kuroda made his way around the batting cage and found his friend.
He had a nice chat with Alfonso Soriano, his teammate in the Minor Leagues in the '90s. What, you were expecting someone else?
Well, the assembled reporters might have been. Eighteen Japanese media outlets are covering the Cubs-Dodgers series, about twice the usual amount for a game at Wrigley this season.
