[Sumo Games] RE Kintaro intai

[GenjiBunch@aol.com]

As a Hoshitori veteran of five years, I am truly sad to see one of the very 
best step off the dohyo for the last time.  When I was caught in the Sekiwake 
trap for a good two-and-a-half years, I marveled at Ozeki Kintaro's 
incredible consistency as he broke record after record.  I have only written 
to the list once regarding a new Yokozuna, and that was to applaud the 
well-deserved promotion of Yokozuna Kintaro.   As Kyushu Basho winner and new 
Ozeki East, one of the things I looked forward to the most was being able to 
compete with the legend as a fellow Yokozuna.  Dai-Yokozuna Kintaro's 
magnificent presence on the dohyo will be sorely missed, but he has created 
the standard against which all future Ozeki and Yokozuna will be measured, 
and he will not soon be forgotten.
