<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Kawano has visited Wrigley Field frequently since his retirement last season. Concerns about his well-being apparently prompted the security action, but it upset Kawano and friends of the 88-year-old.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm thinking there's more to the story. I don't really know how comfortable I'd be letting a frail, 88 year old man walk around by himself in Wrigley. I don't feel comfortable letting my own grandpa, who's basically the same age as Yosh walking anywhere by himself. My guess, and this is purely a guess, is that they told him he had to go, if he didn't have someone there to escort him or walk around with him and they just didn't want him to walk around by himself for fear of his own well being.

yeah, just what we need...the "Yosh Kawano Curse"
Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.

Yes, it's bad that no one could have come to Yosh's aid or recognize the guy but this really isn't a story.

Yosh spent decades with the club but I don't know of many companies that allow an ex-employees to wander their grounds unannounced.

If you look at the article, the Cubs did a lot of wonderful things to thank and honor Yosh. It was all deserved mind you, but you know, he probably shouldn't be too upset about this. People have to take security way seriously these days.
