What if I told you that the MLB would not be restricted to the borders of North America. What if a team were to sprout up on an entirely different continent? Well it could happen. And this is the story of how it did...
_________________

Timothy Hayden graduated from college in 2000, at the age of 23. Tim had attended George Washington University in Washington D.C. for 5 years. He earned his degree in sports management, and was also a 5 year member of the basketball team. Timothy enjoyed basketball, and wanted to earn a spot in the front office of an NBA or major college team. After taking a job with the Wizards for 3 years as a paid intern, he was denied a position in the Wizards' marketing department. He then decided to try his luck elsewhere, and took up a job with the not-so-great Washington Nationals. They were an upstart team, and that would be their first season in Washington. He lasted only one season with the Nationals, before quitting in hopes of finding a job back in the basketball world. He thought baseball was fun and all, but his true passion was with basketball.

Now the year was 2005, and Tim was 28 years old. He had been applying for as many NBA positions as he could find, but hadn't landed a job yet. He was running out of money, and was forced to take up a job working at a toy factory. He quickly moved up the chain of command at the toy factory, and worked hard. He continued to apply for positions at different basketball jobs, but the opportunities were scarce and he hadn't been hired yet. He was beginning to give up on his dream of a sports management job, and figured he'd spend the rest of his working career in charge of a toy factory.

It would suck. The end.

Did I nail it?

I think so, I mean, wouldn't the travel time involved in going to a different continent be extremely impractical considering how often baseball games are played?

?: Mr. Kojima! I thought you would be out of office today!
Mr. K: Not today, I have business to do, Akari.
A: I see.

Mr. Kojima proceeded to walk into his office, and booted up his computer. He had a pristine view at the top floor of the Bandai Headquarters in Tokyo. He had indeed planned on taking the day off, but an opportunity had come up. An opportunity that could make Mr. Kojima very rich. And Mr. Kojima especially liked those opportunities. He picked up his phone, and dialed to front office of the MLB. After a few rings, his call was answered.

?: This is the MLB Headquarters, how may I help you?
Mr. K: I would like to speak with Mr. Selig.
?: May I ask who is speaking?
Mr. K: It's Mr. Kojima, calling from Japan.
?: Ah! Mr. Kojima! Right away, sir!
Some music played while Mr. Kojima's call was transferred.
Mr. Selig: Ah, Mr. Kojima! I've been not so patiently waiting your call!
Mr. K: Well, your patience has paid off.
Mr. Selig: I assume you have called bringing news of your decision?
Mr. K: Yes, I have. I have decided that it would be in my best interest to be the... financial provider for this team.
Mr. Selig: So that's a yes? You want to help us pull this off?
Mr. K: It will be my pleasure. I'm sure we'll stay in touch.
Mr. Selig: Yes, please call if you have any concerns!
Mr. K: I most definitely will. Good bye.

And with that, Mr. Kojima hung up the phone without waiting for a reply. He did not have that sort of time to waste. He had plans to make. Plans regarding the baseball team he had just verbally committed to.

Mr. Kojima smiled. He had just received a phone call saying that his plans for a new baseball stadium in downtown Tokyo had been approved. But, this was not just an ordinary baseball stadium. This was Panpaka Park! There were plenty of ways to make money, throughout the stadium, even if the team wasn't playing. One little money maker he came up with was the "Lucky Pocket". There was a 7-foot diameter hole in the left field wall, called the Lucky Pocket. Contestants could pay $10 for a chance to get their names in a a drawing. If their name is drawn, they have a chance to win $100,000 if a home player hits one into the pocket during a game! He figured people would fork out cash for something like that, and there was virtually no chance that anyone would hit one into the pocket.

Another issue was pressing his mind as well. It had been decided that the team would be located in Tokyo, but a mascot and team name had not been decided. Mr. Kojima decided that the best way to sell team merchandise would be if the majority of the population liked the mascot. He would have to compete with the already established NPB teams for merchandise sales, so the team mascot was important. He determined that the best way to please as many people as he could would be to have the population vote on it.
_________________

The voting had been narrowed down to the final two options. The race was close, but Mr. Kojima had a feeling he knew what one would win...

Looks interesting. I'll definitely follow.

Also, I voted for Defenders. Samurai just seems very cliche to me.

Thanks for showing some serious interest. :lol:

And I couldn't really decide on the nickname, so I figured I'd make you guys do it for me. :)

EDIT: did you bring a small army to vote for Defenders? :lol:

Tim's heart was racing, and his palms were starting to get a little sweaty as he picked up his phone. The number had been dialed for nearly 10 minutes now, but Tim couldn't bring himself to push the call button. "It's okay," he thought. "I can do this." And with that bit of self motivation, he pressed call. The first ring had barely ended when the phone was answered by a woman speaking Japanese. "Well crap," Tim thought, because he didn't know a lick of the Japanese language.

Tim: Uh, may I speak to Mr. Kojima? Mr. Kojima, please?

Somehow, the lady who answered the phone must have recognized the name, because he was transferred through to Mr. Kojima's office. Mr. Kojima answered and said something in Japanese, and once again, Timothy panicked.

Tim: Uh, Mr. Kojima? Hello? Do-
Mr.Kojima: Ah, it seems as if I answered with the incorrect tongue. How may I help you?
Tim: Oh, thank goodness you speak English!, he said with a nervous laugh
Mr.K: Yes, quite fluently, may I add. Now, what is it you want? I don't have time to waste.
Tim: Oh, yeah. Well, uh, you see... I'm the manager at one of your Bandai distribution centers in the U.S.
Mr.K: And? Is there an issue? I'm not the one you should be addressing with company complaints.
Tim: No no no, that's not what I'm calling for. You see, I graduated a few years ago with a degree in sports management, but that never really worked out. And then I heard about you buying the new MLB team, and was wondering if maybe I could get an interview?
Mr.K: Ah, so you're after our GM position?
Tim: Uh, I wasn't really shooting that high, I was thinking more-
Mr.K: Alright then, I have you scheduled for an interview next week Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. here in my office. Don't be late. I'm assuming you can sort out the travel yourself, if not, set it up with my receptionist, Akari. Have a nice day.
Tim: Bu-
Mr.Kojima abruptly hung up the phone, and Tim was left with nothing but the dial tone to listen to him.
Tim:-t I don't even know how to speak Japanese...

After that, Tim began to freak out and prepare a resume, because he had never interviewed for such a high position. He then called his parents, and set up flights so he could make it to the interview.

Tim: How the hell did I pull that off?

I was referencing the fact that if a Samurai failed in battle, he would commit Sudoku, or suicide.

That would be seppuku. Sudoku is the puzzle
