Kosuke Fukudome is a tremendous athlete. He sees the ball very well, he eats pitch counts, he has power, he's not a liability on defense and he's even shown a little speed from time to time. He could very well be the difference maker between the Cubs only winning the division last year, to them winning a NL pennant and advancing to the World Series. Surely the Cubs fans must be grateful to have this athlete, whom they acquired as a free agent signing, i.e. they had to give up no one to put him on their team.
The photograph I've included is a picture of a T-shirt sold by a vendor outside of Wrigley Field. The Sun-Times ran an article about it on April 18th and were immediately flooded by angry e-mails from readers. The next day Cubs officials asked the vendor to stop selling the t-shirt, using the argument that it contained a copyrighted logo. However before he was asked to stop selling the shirt, the vendor, Mark Kolbusz, claimed it was his top selling item so far this season.Just goes to show you the level of appreciation Cubs fans have for their players...
