HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Mr. Sparkle
I remember he had a couple of good games and looked pretty promising. John Franco called him "Cash Money." He went through a bad stretch after that and they dumped him. I think he must have gone back to Japan.

I actually got an autogrpah from Kashi before a game, his signature was simply Kashi as he was porbablly not used to signing in English writing.

Kashiwada was run-of-the-mill, but the thing I remember most about him is that the Mets announcers always made the point that Kashiwada requested the number 17 because it's the number aces wore in Japan. I never heard that tidbit at any other time except for when Kashiwada would pitch.

Takashi's only close to significant accomplishment was being the first Japanese born pitcher to win a game for a New York team. He got the win on May 17, 1997. Hideki Irabu, who came up with that other NY team the same year with significant fanfare, didn't get a win until July 10, 1997. Bobby Valentine, who never seemed to miss these things, made sure to point this out.
