The post office takes stamp designs seriously. So much so that they formed a committee to review eligibility of the submitted designs. In this country, one of the key requirements for having your faced slapped on a stamp is that you have to have been dead for at least ten years.
The Japanese have no such qualms. On sale tomorrow in Japan are stamps featuring Daisuke Matsuzaka. There are ten designs commemorating his first year in the major league, from the news conference last December through the World Series parade in October. There is a picture of him holding the stamps here but it's really small. Somehow, I don't think the above picture will be one of the stamps.
