Ichiro and Johjima

Ichiro and Johjima
Interesting to hear so much sempai-kohai talk from Ichiro and Johjima. Though players grouping together ethnically in the dugout and clubhouse seems pretty natural in the MLB (and may it even be representative of US society?)

Anyways, here's the Seattle Times article by Brad Lefton:

"I only had a bad impression of him," Ichiro says, laughing heartily as he explains what he now considers a long-standing misperception. "When we played against each other in Japan, as an opponent, I found him brash and cocky. Honestly, I was upset when I heard the Mariners had signed him. I thought, 'What?' I didn't think we could coexist here."

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.
