I was watching a clip from Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck the other day. The movie had a bit where the interpreter totally made up Tom Selleck's character's responses. Kind of wish we had someone who spoke Japanese here to let us know if that's happening here.
Tom Caron: Who has helped you the most on this Sox team is assimilating to Western Culture?
Interpreter: (In Japanese): Who has helped you the most on this Sox team is assimilating to Western Culture?
Tanaka: (In Japanese): Verdugo took me to a strip bar and I met a stripper named Aura who could tie cherry stems with her tongue.
Interpreter: (In English): All the veteran players have helped me equally to learn and appreciate American culture while still retaining my Japanese identity.
