This will be added to my summer reading list. I am now reading your "Remebering Japanese Baseball" for the second time, so very glad to see you have something new out!

Great to hear. I loved your oral history of Japanese baseball and was looking forward to the Yonamine bio.

I just picked this up during summer holiday in the US and read it in a few days. Another great contribution to English books about Japanese baseball. And a great story that needed to be told!

This is a "must read" for anybody interested in Japanese baseball. Wally and Jane are a class act and this book gives us their story.

Would you care to elaborate on that in the comments for this book review. I didn't really cover the aspect of Jane in my review of the book. It's always good to hear different angles and what others think.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
