Bobby Valentine picked up this habit when managing in Japan. Without a map or a plan, he would just start bicycling for hours. He would go wherever his legs took him and only turn on his cellphone when he got lost.

Of course the latest rumors have Valentine showing interest in managing the Cubs next year. I guess he thinks if he could turn around the Marines he can also turn around a much longer championship drought!

[I realize that this is an old thread, but I just need to add this.]

Really strange that Valentine keeps getting passed over for MLB jobs. The latest rumor had him taking over the Brewers, but they just announced someone else. Is his personality too big for everyone?
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
