He got my 25 votes. I declined Peter’s suggestion of using more than one of my email addresses. Otherwise, I would have been voting for the next hour.
Hope it helps him get the nomination.
Cheers, Allan

What!!?! As a Red Sox fan, I can’t (in good conscience) vote for a Yankee ( Sorry Peter…you know how it is). 
But, Kosuke Fukudome needs some love too.

As I was listening to this lesson, a guy walked in front of me with “matsui” written on his back… coincidence!
I don:t think he was the baseball player though, just a fan.
