Notice of Site Renovation
So much of this site is jumbled up and half done with the new theme. Frankly,
despite the number of people who like it, it's driving me crazy. I hate to
look at it and call this my work. So the Player Meikan section is coming down
until I've had time to clean it up and bring it up to speed with the rest of
the site.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

First Giants Visit to U.S.?

Who were those guys? Does anyone know the roster of the 1935 visit to the west coast by the team that became the Yomiuri Giants? I think it was largely drawn from the team assembled to play against Connie Mack and Babe Ruth's American All-Stars in 1934. Presumably the team included Sawamura and Starffin. Reportedly, they played semi-pro, college, and PCL teams and racked up an astonishing W-L record. I'm guessing it was their pitching that dominated, but I don't know. Joe DiMaggio was enjoying his last year with the Seals, his PCL MVP season, and I wonder how he did against the visitors. What did people think of this Yomiuri team?
