We told you last week how the Boston Herald is taking advantage of the Red Sox signing pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka by publishing Sox- and Matsuzaka-themed articles in Japanese as well as English.

Now, enter the Boston Globe, which agreed to post excerpts of Major League Baseball coverage from the Globe, the Boston.com site and affiliated fan site Boston Dirt Dogs on the Japanese-language Web site Go-RedSox.com.

More from Boston.com: “This arrangement follows the dramatic upsurge in interest in the Boston Red Sox within Japan following the signing earlier this month of Japanese pitching star Daisuke Matsuzaka. Reliever Hideki Okajima also joined the Red Sox roster this offseason. In another sign of interest in Red Sox coverage among Japanese sports fans, the Globe’s Gordon Edes has committed to a twice-monthly column for Sankei Daily Sports, Japan’s leading sports publication.”

What the article doesn’t mention is that it also follows the Globe’s smaller competitor’s decision to turn Japanese first. That’s fine; as Akira Kurosawa pointed out, it’s enlightening to get more than one version of the story.
