Twins' manager wears 'I love Japan women's soccer' T-shirt

MINNEAPOLIS, United States - Ron Gardenhire, manager of the Minnesota Twins, wears a T-shirt supporting the Japan women's soccer at the team's practice before a game against the Cleveland Indians at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota on July 19, 2011. Gardenhire said he is wearing it because he lost a bet on the Women's World Cup final between Japan and the United States in Germany on July 17, in which Japan won, but he wears it happily as he liked how Japan played. Twins' shortstop Tsuyoshi Nishioka won the bet.
