Japanese Baseball Team, Nippon Ham Fighters Quarantined For Swine Flu.

[Harvey]

Ham Fighters??? Swine flu??? I don't know how much commentary I can add, other than that it's a strange coincidence when a team called "Nippon Ham Fighters" comes down with swine flu.

Three on Ham Fighters have swine flu

APPORO, Japan -- All players and staff of the Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team will be tested for swine flu after two players and a coach contracted the virus, the Japanese Pacific League team said Wednesday.

Former major league outfielder Terrmel Sledge, pitcher Naoki Miyanishi and head coach Junichi Fukura were confirmed to have contracted the virus when 27 people were tested Tuesday.

Wednesday's game in Asahikawa has been called off because of rain, so affected players will remain in the team's hotel as a precaution.
