Pacific League: Nippon-Ham 6-4 Lotte (28th, ES CON FIELD)

Nippon-Ham manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo commented on Reyes' new dreadlocks.

He paid his respects to the foreign player who contributed greatly to win with two home runs and five RBI, saying, "Thank you very much, Reyes." However, he commented on the long dreadlocks that Reyes sported in the game Seibu Lions on the 25th (at Belluna Dome), saying, "He looks like Zabara (laughs). Why Seibu Lions? If he was going to wear them, he should have done it yesterday. I wonder if it wasn't hot for him." He pointed out the resemblance to the right-handed pitcher who played for Nippon-Ham until last season.

Reyes also laughed at this, saying, "With my hair long and a beard, I thought I looked a bit like him (laughs). (Like your fellow countryman Manny Ramirez?) Ramirez didn't have a beard. With the beard and in this state, I looked in the mirror and thought, 'No, I look way too much like Zabala.' I thought, 'I don't really like this,'" he said with a laugh.
