Comment from Masayuki Kuwahara (Saitama Seibu Lions), who attracted significant attention on the official PERSOL Pacific League TV YouTube channel since his time with the BayStars:
'I was genuinely very happy to be featured on 'Patele' (Pacific League TV) while I was still in the Central League. Every Central League player watches Patele—there's no one who doesn't know it—so the feedback from other players was immense. Thanks to that, my fame has really increased (laughs).'
(On his enthusiasm for the Interleague) 'Until now, I was in the Central League and played against Pacific League teams, but this year it's the other way around. I believe I should just play my own way, so no matter who the opponent is, I want to do my best.'
(On the use of Lions' home game footage on the BayStars' SNS) 'The BayStars are the organization that raised me, and I would be happy if BayStars fans could see me working hard and playing baseball, and feel that effort.'
