I think it's great. With the information I've read about Robertson, he does know what he is doing and he seems like a great, hard working man. I've personally read the articles in magazines he has written and they are fantastic. He knows this game front and back. His experience in the real estate buisness doesn't hurt anyone either, only makes others more knowledgable of it. And also, seeing that he is fluent in both English and Japanese, he can create cultural diffusion between Japan and America. He can make the stadium more appealing, and such. He can also influence and educate not only the baseball players but also the fans and everyone else.

WOW! The original posting was on December 27, 2003. The last reply was dated August 14, 2005. This might be the longest period between orginal post and first reply!

And you have to wonder, too, exactly what impact Robertson had on the world of yakyu. Is he still around?

I wonder how much influence Robertson did have in the 2004 Orix BlueWave/Kintetsu Buffaloes merger mess.

What I'm wondering is he still around? Whatever happened to Robertson after the merger? It would be interesting to know if he still with Orix or not.

He apparently has been contributing regularly as a columnist to several magazines, such as Wingspan and as a regular commentator for the NHK/BS program "Major League Weekly." He was born in Japan and moved to the United States permanently in 1984 to become a high-powered real-estate executive. He befriended Mets co-owner, Fred Wilpon, and tried unsuccessfully to buy the Montreal Expos.
Why is this real-estate exec brought in? Is this part of a deal to sell/redevelop their stadium to American investors?
