My Take
Kuroda pitched more than a decade for the Hiroshima Carp, then went to the Dodgers and the Yankees and held his own. What stays with me is the ending: he turned down far richer major league offers to go home to Hiroshima for a fraction of the money. Not a career move, a debt being repaid. Born in Osaka, loyal to another city entirely, on purpose.
