Whern i first fell in love with the japanese culture, I had already a love affair with baseball. I collected many rare japanese baseball cards of the great hitters
of the time. All my american baseball fans laughed at me. They short changed the quality of ball players and the distance of the home run fences.that was then, Well a few years ago some players migrated across the pond and have done a great job of making apples to apples comparisons.

I get the same feeling now as i watch comments flood the board about what america and Europe and asia outside japan has for contenders. It may be true we can't get em back inside for a contest of apples against apples But I'm willing to bet we could hold our own with the quality of contenders outside japan.
