Have you seen the headlines this guy is getting? They're talking about how he looks like Matthew McConaughey and Keanu Reeves. I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous to see the kind of stuff they're writing about him. No offense to him if he's reading this, but I continue to be puzzled by what Japanese people consider to be good looking in a caucasian. Also, how they compare him to Keanu Reeves is beyond me.
Does this look like Keanu Reeves? Japanese baseball is grasping for anything. I really can't stand the hype that comes with spring training news.

Greisinger looks more like Dan Abrams of MSNBC's "Abrams Report."

The sad thing about this is that you can tell he's a decent guy just from the response he gave to all that. "I look like an actor? I'm just a regular ball player."
They kinda gave the same hype to Gabe Kapler when he flew in with his whole bodybuilding background. Here's hoping Greisinger doesn't turn out the same way.

Writers are grasping for anything this time of year.
Also looking at it the other way, what passes for a good looking Asian in Hollywood seems pretty odd from an Asian perspective. I mean Lucy Liu?

About
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. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
