I came across a video last night (thanks to a post by a Rangers fan on the Dodgers reddit) that made me immediately realize that I must share it here.... And heck, there's got to be other stuff online too. After all, this is the 21st century and nothing escapes the watchful eye of a fame-obsessed society like ours. Besides, I hadn't thought much of Darvish beyond the media circus that surrounded him when he first got signed. So, in the interest of learning about who he is I figured I should search high and especially low for anything that tells us about the man (and makes me laugh, too).Firstly, here's the video that got me on this quest. I'm not entirely sure what event it originates from, but it's clearly a team sponsored show. It's from his rookie season -- 2012. Featured below is a musical skit by three scantily dressed Rangers rookies (Yu Darvish, Robbie Ross, Brandon Snyder) singing the Shania Twain song, "Man, I Feel Like A Woman." And, it's not lip-synced. Enjoy!

Apparently, Yu Darvish can clear out a dugout real fast.

BTW, Yu Darvish has three base hits in his career, and one of them was a homer. It was off of Reds pitcher Tim Adleman, and it was no fluke. Darvish hit it to straight-away center field.

I just found out that Darvish has his own YouTube page and he's been rather active. Check out this recent video where he shows his routine the day before a scheduled start.

Here are some highlights from his game on April 2, 2013. On this day he threw a 8 2/3 inning perfect game -- missing out on the no-no on a single by Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez.

Lastly, this final video isn't funny at all. It's inspiring, and I'm certain it's something Dodger Blue animal lovers will love. Earlier this year Yu Darvish adopted a pitbull destined for the pound (his fifth dog), and he spent some time to talk about it with the press. BTW, the dogs name is Sage.
