Scott McGough was planning to use his time off during the All-Star break to head down to Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture. He was going to walk around and see the sights and then maybe relax on a beach somewhere.

That was the plan at least, before his getaway turned into a working weekend. Not that you'll find the Tokyo Yakult Swallows reliever complaining.

The beach is nice and all, but being named to the All-Star team is probably a little bit better.
