I was already basically sold on Maui’s new pro baseball team before I walked through the gate of Maehara Stadium for my first game; I’m a big baseball fan, so I’m an easy mark. But the deal was officially sealed when I made my way over to the merchandise booth and saw it: a big, yellow foam finger bearing the team’s logo. But instead of the usual, cliched (and often wrong) “We’re Number One,” this one featured the thumb-and-pinkie-out gesture that defines Hawaii. Good marketing move on their part, good purchase on my part. Go Na Koa!
