I guess the Indians really do “suck”

And I thought Korean Big Leaguers were tabloid material. Check this story out:

CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians minor leaguer Kazuhito Tadano is asking for forgiveness for what he called a one-time mistake — his appearance in a gay porn video in which he engaged in a homosexual act.

Tadano took part in the video three years ago when he was a college student. Sitting in the Cleveland clubhouse Tuesday, the pitcher said he hoped to put his actions in the past.

“All of us have made mistakes in our lives,” Tadano said, reading a statement in English. “Hopefully, you learn from them and move on.”

Shunned by Japanese baseball teams, the 23-year-old Tadano signed with the Indians last March. They think he can make their club this spring.

Tadano gave few details about the video, which he made after his sophomore year at Rikkyo University.

I’ll let you read the rest on your own.

    Would it help people to know whether he was on the giving or receiving end?

    I’m reminded of “Clerks”:

    “Slurp, slurp, slurp. THIRTY-SEVEN!?”

    I think I bought the video in Bangkok a few years ago by accident…

    I have the video. Tadano is actually pretty hot. He could have two careers.
