It seems that the relationship between the Seibu Lions’ star pitcher Matsuzaka Daisuke (22) and Nippon TV announcer Shibata Tomoyo (29) may be getting more serious. After Matsuzaka had been named the MVP for the first All-Star game yesterday, he appeared on the show “Sportsu Urugusu”, on which Shibata is one of the hosts. Both seemed nervous and could hardly look at each other. Asked why he had seemed so calm as starting pitcher, Kintetsu Buffaloes hurler Iwakuma Hisahi (23) quipped “Well, I guess ‘cos I’m married!” The remark was followed by an uncomfortable silence. A relationship between the pair was first rumored by gossip magazine Friday almost 4 years ago.
