Like most season-openers there is plenty of media attention at Camden Yards and with the Yankees in town at the beginning of a season with high expectations for the Bronx Bombers, New York coverage is out in full force.
However, most of the attention is outside the Orioles' dugout where a large contingent of Japanese media is waiting for glimpses of Baltimore's Koji Uehara, the Tokyo native who is a projected top of the rotation starting pitcher.
Because of Uehara and the group that covers the Yankees and outfielder Hideki Matsui, media game notes from both teams were also available in Japanese.
