People always wonder what teams do during long rain delays, well during Thursday nights 2 1/2 hour delay in Chicago, According o the Herald, The Red Sox were getting their groove on to the new anthem of Red Sox relief pitcher Hideki Okajima called “Okajima, Oki-Doke.”
“It’s awesome,” said Okajima’s translator, Jeff Yamaguchi, who was the one primarily responsible for the impromptu party. “The clubhouse went nuts. We played it like 30 times.”
The song is upbeat and lends itself to dancing, as was evidenced by the gyrations of Ortiz and others.
Okajima reportedly never got up and danced, but was laughing and smiling the entire time.
Remarkably, the well-received ditty only has two words in its lyrics - “Okajima, Oki-Doke.”
“The joint was jumping,” said Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
The song will make it's debut next time he enters a game at Fenway Park. As soon as I can find the song, I'll post it here.
