My buddy Jack Barth, my former partner in the once awesome but now defunct Bar-K Loungers in the now defunct Tiffany League, is putting together a television series in the UK about extreme Japanese culture. He asks “Have you or any of your hi-level baseball pals heard any oddball/compelling stories about Japanese baseball? Eg. Something displaying a Samurai spirit, Offbeat personal stories, Oh, I don�t know� Thanks.”
I don’t much about Japanese baseball, but if you want to post any good ones in the comments section here I’ll make sure Jack reads them. And if they truly display the Samurai spirit, maybe we’ll all learn something from them.
