Guyner?

Guyner?
This fella, Terumasa Matsuo, played in the Shikoku Indy league. His team name was the Kagawa Olive Guyners. He is pitching in Asheville, NC tonight and I was wondering if anyone knew what a "Guyner" is.

Apparently a combination of the local dialect "gaina" meaning "strong" and the English word "guy."

Sweet. I offered up an Asheville Tourists T-Shirt to the person who knew what it was.

The Kagawa Olive Guyners play in the Shikoku Island League, and their mascot/logo is very similar to the Green Giant! It's a shrewdly marketed team by their CEO, and they draw really well. I was just there a few weeks ago, and they had over 4,000 in the stands!
A "Guyner" is considered to be a strong, hard working giant. Check out their website!

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world.
