29 May 2015A Must-Read for NPB Fans
It is often said that the second part of trilogies is the hardest to write as an author and the least enjoyable for the viewer.
10 December 2014Would like something more up to date
This book goes into the 80's.

This was an interesting read, not as funny as people make it out to be--though it is amusing at times--but well worth it as an intro to Japanese baseball.
20 February 2014Gotta Have This Book
It is such a shame that the timeless wisdom and charm of this book may ride away on the tide of currency along with the material that is specific to Japan in the seventies.
8 November 2013Great read
I had lived in Japan for three years when some gave me their personal copy I enjoyed it so much I bought my own.
5 September 2013not bad
This book gives you great insight on Japanese baseball culture.
21 August 2013Aping of American innocence and bonhomie
It was very obvious that the Americans of all the participants in the World Wars enjoyed/deserved an unparallelled goodwill and image.
21 August 2013Its about Japanese Baseball and WA. But mostly about WA.
This book is about Japanese Baseball and WA.
17 March 2013If you are into baseball this is a great read.
This provides an interesting contrast between the US and Japan regarding baseball and cultural approaches to the game and life style..
16 October 2011Learn about Japan, learn even more about baseball!!
I’d already read Whiting’s Tokyo Underground, his book about a mob-connected ex-soldier setting up a business empire in Tokyo, and was excited to read his book about the development of Japanese baseball and the ex-Major League “foreign talent” that eventually tried to become part of it.
