People appear on T-shirts. Sports Nippon MLB reporter Naoyuki Yanagihara

It's just a T-shirt, but it's still a T-shirt. Each T-shirt tells an eloquent story of the owner's life. We asked Naoyuki Yanagihara, a reporter covering MLB for Sports Nippon, to tell us about his favorite T-shirt.

In LA, the paradise of T-shirts, I suddenly took off my collar.

I cover Major League Baseball in a collared shirt about 180 days a year, but after spending a long time in America and seeing the free-spirited and fun fashions of the local people, I gradually began to want to buy their T-shirts and caps.

This is a 75th anniversary T-shirt from In-N-Out, a popular hamburger restaurant mainly on the West Coast of the United States, which I bought in the summer of 2023. Dodgers reliever pitcher Joe Kelly often wears this T-shirt when he enters the stadium. Shohei Ohtani always wears Boss or New Balance.

The problem with MLB is that limited edition T-shirts keep coming out for events like All-Star games, record-breaking events, playoff games, etc. Because they keep coming out and it's so hot, we've recently lifted the ban on interviews in T-shirts.

I also own a black T-shirt exclusive to Arizona and a white T-shirt exclusive to California. I also bought Shohei Ohtani 's number 17 All-Star T-shirt the other day.
