Love of Yankees and eating tunafish out of the can

A marriage conceived amid the splintered relations between Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. With tunafish.

The very first night we met started as nothing more than a chance meeting in a bar, which turned into a discussion of sports -- our love of the Yankees (we met during the Yankees-Mets World Series in 2000), music and so many other things that we had in common. Then, she suddenly admitted that she ate plain tuna fish right out of the can. That may seem insignificant or even silly to others, but I have always eaten tuna plain right out of the can and had never in my life met anyone else who did. Now, after more than 10 years together and eight years happily married, we still look back at that exact moment as our dealmaker.

Only tuna in olive oil, not tuna in water.

Kei Igawa eats tuna out of a can every Thursday.

On Friday, he washes the can in soapy water.

On Saturday, he dries the can in the sun.

On Sunday, he rests.

On Monday, he goes to the river and catches a new tuna. Ok, so the Delaware river has no tuna, but Kei doesn't speak english so the locals tell him, "it's tuna."

On Tuesday he cleans the fish and filets it.

On Wednesday, he packs the fish with oil and jams it into the can. No matter what size the fish.

On Thursday, well, you know.....
