    I hope the Jays don't trade him. I love how he rebounded from his 1st year. He seems like a genuine good guy, and he wants to be here.

    I attended a Blue Jays game last Sunday, Father's Day.
    I noticed one little boy that was high energy and loves his Father.
    I had my camera and took some photos of the Family.
    Turns out the youngster was Kikuchi-san's Son Leo.
    What a lovely Family, I'm sure they are embraced by Blue Jay Fans.
    Good luck to the Blue Jays and Kikuchi Family!
