A few years ago, before an All-Star game at Yokohama Stadium, while most players were relaxing, then-Chunichi Dragons slugger Tyrone Woods was feverishly fielding grounders at first base hit by his manager, Hiromitsu Ochiai.

The normally reserved Ochiai had a wide grin on his face and was clearly enjoying himself, until eventually Woods played the part of former boxer Roberto Duran, held up both hands and signaled no mas.

Woods put his hands on his hips as he walked off the field and shook his head.
