At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

I don't know how Jon can comment on the Dodgers! He's from Oxnard not LA!

Subject: NY Giants

Speaking of the Giants, I was talking to my daughter who lives and works in NYC. An old school chum of hers, who she dated a couple of times was picked up by the Giants. He's a kicker named Matt Dodge. Now how can I capitalize on that one with some freebee seats. I encouraged her to give the team a call and relive some old times, well not that old, of days at East Carolina U.

Since my house is 51.3 miles from Dodger Stadium, I should be a San Freakcisco Giants fan?
BTW, that's closer than some parts of the city of Los Angeles itself.

Jon,
The way they're playing that's way too close to Dodger stadium if the wind ever blows north.

That's right Jon! You could have played ball all your life, attended Dodger games and stuffed yourself full of Dodger dogs. But how dare you offer an opinion on the LA Dodgers all that way from Oxnard!!!!

The way the Dodgers are playing right now, if they played BASEBALL against the NEW YORK Giants, they would still lose.
