Igawa Drops $6.1 Million on Hillary

In the arcane crossovers between major league baseball and politics, this one requires everyone's concentration.

Hillary, not really wanting to tap into her $109 million nest egg but, at the same time, salivating to perpetuate the illusion of personal confidence in her slipping ( sorry ) campaign, picked up the phone and gave Japan a call.

" I knew this man had plenty of Yankee money, and was doing nothing, " said the Presidential hopeful.

" He could lend me money and, hopefully, get paid back by the Democratic National Committee when this race ends during the World Series.

I could get credit for "lending" my money to the DNC, get a tax deduction, and collect interest to boot, which co-incides with my 6 point plan for the economy."

Hillary, supposedly, sent Kei an autographed picture of herself standing in an orange pant-suit, wearing her Yankee cap with the interlocking NY.

Not wanting to lose face, and sensing his own opportunity for fame, Mr. Igawa(san) mailed her a check.

In a brief interview this morning in Detroit, Igawa said, "In Japan, she is baseball's number one lover. I loan her money so she can continue to make many noise ( some of these phrases were really difficult to translate ) in West Virginia state. Soon to be primary."

Hillary was last seen placing a bet in Vegas that Kei would last under 4 innings and give up 6 + runs. Odds were 1-2.

I am taking the over.
