Auto Graph Theory

OMFG I LOVE KATSUYA NOMURA HE'S SUCH A GRUMPY OLD MAN

It's Spring Training time and a bunch of kids come up to Rakuten's Nomura-kantoku and ask him for his autograph... they're like "sign?" so he's like "SINE? SINE. COSINE. TANGENT." The kids are like "dude wtf" and he's like "It's math. Today's lesson. Sine. Cosine. Tangent. Repeat!" and they're like "Sine... cosine... tangento?" And then he signed stuff for them once they repeated it a few times.

I have to wonder if this is another one of those weird "Only in Japan" moments, or if MLB managers would also be trying to give math lessons to little kids who wanted autographs :)

That's hilarious. That's the kind of wacky thing I would do if I were a celebrity.

That's the kind of eccentricity I can appreciate XD
