Baseball With Nunchucks?

Japan has given the world some pretty good baseball players …

Ichiro, Wally Kaname Yonamine, Hideki Matsui, Kosuke Fukudome (jury’s still out) and the legendary Sadaharu Oh (and his World Record 868 Home Runs - suck it Barry) come to mind.

But none of them did anything as cool as this guy …

Watch as this martial arts master shows some incredible baseball skill by hitting a baseball with a pair of nunchaku.

If at first you don’t suceed, submit a post of a guy hitting baseballs with a nunchaku again! This is proof that Ninjas are good ballplayers, by the way, further making us fortunate that Japan will be called “Samurai Japan” and not “Ninja Japan” during the WBC.

Overrated.

Just wait for the inevitble banzai charge. It almost never worked - you just need nerves of steel and plenty of ammo.

Will the Samurai Japan team break out the Seppoku squeeze during the WBC? That would be the biggest baseball innovation since the gyroball!

Wouldn't it make more sense for a Baseball team to use a harikiri squeeze due to it sounding like "harry carey"?
