Alex Ramirez had an eventful first gameday on the job.
The new roving advisor to the Orix Buffaloes spent most of batting practice on Saturday giving instruction to many of the Orix hitters, including Yoshio Itoi and Takahiro Okada. Later, he high-fived a few Buffaloes cheerleaders, and greeted the team president.
Rami-chan is back and, other than the unfamiliar blue and gold hat and neon yellow practice shirt he was wearing, it's like he never left.
