Traded to Japan- Courtesy of youtube.com
Major League pitcher is traded to Japan for the hot dog eating champion. This could never happen, not because of the hot dog champion but trades are only done within the MLB system. If Major League player goes to Japan, it's because the Japanese team wanted them but would not send a Japanese player in their place.
Many people do not know this, but in the 1964, the first Japanese player played in the Major Leagues. Masanori Murakami pitched in nine games for the San Francisco Giants.
