So, he thinks he can make demands

Daisuke Matsuzaka says he wants to wear #18 with the Red Sox.

The last #18 was Jason Johnson. Dustan Mohr also wore #18 last year for Boston. Prior to that, it was Johnny Damon's number.

Oddly, almost all U.S. media outlets use photos of Matsuzaka from international competitions. It seems that they can't find a photo of him as a Seibu Lion.

At least he didn't ask to wear #9.

Betcha Boras totally wanted him to.

In 2000, three different players wore #18 for the Red Sox: Willie Banks, Midre Cummings, and Andy Sheets.

2 There is a dirty joke in there somewhere, but I'm not going near it.

I think it's just that "Japan" is a much more recognizable word than "Seibu."
