Pokud si někdo myslel, že v českém baseballu už viděl všechno, Draci Brno ho právě vyvedli z omylu. Jihomoravský gigant v pondělí oznámil přestup, který nemá v historii tuzemské soutěže obdoby. Do Extraligy míří Takashi Ogino – dlouholetá opora Chiba Lotte Marines, vítěz Japan Series a muž, který v jedné z nejlepších lig světa (NPB) sbíral individuální trofeje ještě v nedávné době.
