Dice-k Dictionary
I've seen the "赤靴下軍団" before, my take is that its a tongue-in-cheek, JAPANESE translation of "Red Sox". This Momo Shinzawa must not be a fan of baseball, since "軍" (perhaps short for "軍団") in Japanese baseball-lingo refers to "team". The Red Sox team in Japanese sports newspapers is commonly referred to as "レ軍", short for "レッドソックス軍"。A recent headline is "レ軍-ヤ軍は中止", or "Red Sox vs Yankees Cancelled". PS - One thing about "Best Sausage Co" - like Ms. Shinzawa said, the font is strange, and the translation technically correct. However, its a very direct translation and quite odd. It reads more like "Company of sausages that are the best." wzupmofo @ Yokohama

  •   REVISITING THE GREATEST HARVARD-YALE GAME  |  November 18, 2009
    It takes some doing to make Harvard look like an underdog in anything. But Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29 — Kevin Rafferty's 2008 movie (out now on DVD) and new book (released this past month) about the famous football rivalry — does just that.
