Former Major League Baseball player Tsuyoshi Shinjo made quite an entrance during a Japanese league game Tuesday.

The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters manager flew a hovercraft onto the Sapporo Dome field before his team's home opener against the Saitama Seibu Lions.

Shinjo, who had the pseudonym "Big Boss" approved as his registered name for the 2022 season by Nippon Professional Baseball, played three seasons in MLB from 2001-03 with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.

He retired from baseball in 2006 after playing his final season with the Nippon-Ham Fighters.
