Understanding Japanese Baseball

Japan and the United States have shared a common passion for baseball since the late 1800s. Nine players per side, nine innings per game, three out per inning -- same game, right? Maybe, and then again, maybe not. For centuries, Japan has assimilated the bet of many cultures and made the end result uniquely Japanese. "Understanding Japanese Baseball" takes a look at the shared summer pastime of Japan and the United States from the rules of the game to the fan's experience at the ball park. Hosted by Professor Gary Andrasko, Asian Studies.
