Shane Komine didn't get the word he would be making his first major league start today for the Oakland Athletics because he had his head in a book.

But it didn't take long for his Sacramento River Cats teammates to get through to the Kalani High alum last Thursday and let him know that his dream was finally coming true.

"It was before a game in New Mexico," Komine said. "It was raining, so we were just playing cards and reading when the manager (Tony DeFrancesco) came in and turned off the TV and said it was too loud and to get to work. Then he told everybody, 'Komine's starting in the big leagues on Sunday.'

"I was in a corner reading a book and not really paying attention, so it didn't register with me until my teammates started coming up to congratulate me."
