Sportswriter David Dorsey of the Ft. Myers News-Press in Florida is getting ready to work the Boston Red Sox spring training camp in that town. He will be joined by a bevy of reporters and photographers from the various Japanese media there to cover the Daisuke Matsuzaka circus and lefty reliever Hideki Okajima.
David says the lady who runs the gift shop at the camp site already ordered 900 "Dice-K" T-shirts, 300 each of three designs.
My guess is she will sell out very quickly after the pitchers and catchers report to the camp on Feb. 16. The first workout is scheduled for the following day.
