The Texas Rangers new soft-porn pitcher

We’re not normally into “boy art” around here, but we’ll make an exception for the Iranian-Japanese heartthrob Yu Darvish, the pitching sensation for whom the Texas Rangers recently paid $107.7 million—$57 to Darvish and 51.7 to his old team the Nippon Ham-Fighters.

You’re not likely to see this sort of thing in your daily’s sport section but it’s not unusual for the 25-year-old Darvish. He’s posed for soft core porn in Japanese magazines much more revealing than this, but we’ll skip those.
