Fukudome doesn't find racist T-shirts in Wrigleyville funny

Alvin Lin - April 18, 2008

Article [1]: "Kosuke Fukudome didn’t have to wait long for the ugly American part of his welcome to Wrigleyville.

A Fukudome T-shirt with a racist image is the hottest-selling item at a
souvenir stand that sells unlicensed Cubs-related merchandise across
Addison Street from the ballpark, according to Mark Kolbusz, who’s in
his fourth season operating the stand.

On the front of the shirt is the traditional Cubs cartoon bear face
but with slanted eyes and wearing oversized Harry Caray-style glasses.
It’s accompanied by the words ‘’Horry Kow,’’ scrawled in cartoonish
‘’Japanese’’ script. Fukudome’s name and number are on the back."
