Masahiro Tanaka travels in style, which I guess most people would do if they had just inked a $155 million contract. The Yankees newest ace paid a reported $195,000 for a 200-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner to fly himself, four guests and a toy poodle to New York City. And since Hot Clicks loves its pooches, here's a gallery of athletes and their dogs.
