Most Japanese fans of Major League Baseball are pulling for a Chicago-St. Louis World Series, hoping to see a match-up of the "Guchi Brothers," former Japan Pacific League rivals Tadahito Iguchi of the White Sox and So Taguchi of the Cardinals.
I have to say I am in line with that, especially on the American League side where I still have a problem with the name Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
You may recall I mentioned in a column last fall how much I disliked that designation after the then-Anaheim Angels decided to include names of the two cities in their designation.
