Tsuyoshi Wada is a starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In Japan, he was a 4-time Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star and Pacific League Rookie of the Year in 2003. Wada also played for the Japanese national team in the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

Today, I had tickets to watch the New York Mets take on the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field. I arrived early to the stadium and the Cubs players were on the field warming up. After they were done warming up, Tsuyoshi Wada came over to sign autographs. He was really cool and signed items for everyone. He signed my baseball right on the sweet spot and added his jersey number to his signature.

The New York Mets lost 1-4, but it was a great day for baseball game. It was a pleasure meeting Tsuyoshi Wada. I wish more players would take as much time as he does to greet fans.
