eri yoshida


anyone have any idea who is YOSHIDA ERI?



i bet u won't.. except u r from japan or a fan of japan baseball league..actually it change my perspective of woman.. i do believe most woman can stand where the guy stand..can be what a man can be..and acheve whatever a guy can achieve.. but her(yoshida eri)makes me think once again and all i can say is, a girl can be whatever she want to be..n become whatever she wants to..even it again the tradition..she is the first girl ever to join a profesional baseball team in japan..n she join them at the age of 16... she's an amazing young girl... baseball is not a game play by girls.. they play softball ..even most softball players is a fan of baseball but to join a male group?? i don't think u can find another girl like her..


here a bit bout her..
