A Yankee on a Goodwill Mission

Curtis Granderson, an outfielder of the New York Yankees, visited Japan.

He came as a kind of envoy to express sympathy for the 2011-tsunami hit people in Japan.

Mr. Granderson taught yesterday how to better make a hit and better catch a ball to baseball-loving children in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Pref.

 On December 11, he is scheduled to visit Okinawa.

Mat 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
Mat 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Mat 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Mat 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
