The Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday made its signing of Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto official, but the deal may have been sealed much earlier than that thanks to the Nippon Professional Baseball League star's daughter.
Speaking to reporters through interpreter Gino Gordon at his introductory press conference, Okamoto said that the Blue Jays' logo caught his daughter's eye when he presented her with a choice of the logos from all 30 MLB teams.
