Omiyage at Shinzen Tournament

What the boys are doing here is "omiyage", the exchanging of gifts with the team from Japan.

On the reason he was put in J-League: "I live outside the city so I'm not around Asian influences much. I'm not around a lot of Asian kids, so my dad did it to expose me to some Asian influences."
-Curtis Shimosaka, former San Jose Ninjas player.
