Extractions: Developed in collaboration with the Nisei Baseball Research Project, Diamonds in the Rough: Japanese Americans in Baseball tells the one hundred year history of baseball in Japanese American communities. This is an amazing chapter in history and we hope to continue our research so we can keep these stories alive. If you have photos, newspaper clippings, or memories that you wish to share with us, we would love to hear from you. Please e-mail, write, or call us. Contact: Gary Otake, 1684 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94115, (415) 921-5007, gary@momomedia.com Colo Baseball, it is said, is the sport which mirrors our nation’s soul. It is our hallowed "national pastime," the game which represents the best that America has to offer: democracy, fair play, and equal opportunity. In fact, baseball and America are so intertwined that many believe we cannot know one without the other. "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America," so the saying goes, "had better learn baseball." For many who have taken the challenge to understand the "heart and mind of America," baseball has indeed proven to be fertile ground. Within the microcosm of baseball, we discover stories far more compelling than the box scores reveal. We can see into the far corners of our nation’s past and witness the deeds of heroes, villains, and everyday people. We learn of the struggles of war and building a nation, and of the extremes of economic depression and fabulous wealth. Through baseball, we learn of our aspirations and triumphs, our shortcomings and fears, our hopes and our dreams.

http://www.sportingnews.com/archives/allstar.html

Extractions: NATIONAL LEAGUE 1 Why the American League won: A combination of great pitching and the long ball helped lead the A.L. to its fifth consecutive All-Star victory and 11th in 14 games. Three of the A.L.s four runs came on solo homers by Cal Ripken Jr., Derek Jeter and Magglio Ordonez, who was the only player for either team to have two hits. Meanwhile, A.L. pitchers held N.L. batters to just three hits. Why the National League lost: While their pitchers prevented A.L. hitters from putting together a big inning, three of the eight hits they allowed were homers. And the N.L.s own offense was anemic. The senior circuit had only three hits-two singles and a double-and didnt have a runner reach base until Luis Gonzalez led off the fourth inning with a single. The 3-4-5 spots in the N.L. lineup went a combined 0-for-12. Turning Points The A.L. got on the scoreboard in the third inning when Ripken, playing in his 18th and final All-Star Game, hit a solo homer to left field on the first pitch he saw from Chan Ho Park to give the A.L. a lead it would never surrender. Ripken received a thunderous standing ovation from the crowd at Seattles Safeco Field and eventually was named All-Star Game MVP.

Extractions: Earlier this week, Page 2 presented our list of the 10 biggest cheaters in baseball history, and we asked you to send us your choices. After going through more than 600 e-mails, here is how Page 2 readers ranked their picks. Be sure to vote in the poll at right to crown the No. 1 cheater of all time. 1. 1919 Chicago White Sox (76 letters) Whether he profited or not, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is forever linked to some of the biggest cheaters ever. How on Earth could you forget the mob-tainted 1919 White Sox? All of the incidents of cheating you mentioned were by individual players with one exception. However, all of the acts of cheating you mentioned are or were widely practiced (or so some of the athletes claimed) by others; they just happened to get caught. What you failed to mention is the most damaging of all cheating incidents. Of all the incidents of cheating in baseball, the most infamous, far-reaching and hurtful to the sport was the 1919 Black Sox World Series scandal. How did you forget about that? Cheating on a scale that makes all the petty incidents you mention sound pathetic. Corked bats hey, the batter still has to make contact. Loaded balls the pitcher still has to get the ball in the strike zone or get the batter to swing. There is a certain amount of skill involved in all those cheating practices.

Extractions: News Teams Players Foreigners ... Past stars History BayStars BlueWave Buffaloes Carp ... Nihongo Japanese baseball history Even before the establishment of their first professional league in 1936, baseball had been played in Japan for over a half-century. Introduced by American teachers and professors in the 1870s, Japanese baseball evolved apart from the game played in the United States. Primarily used as a "teaching" tool, baseball during those early years was played rigidly, as if it were a martial art through which players strengthened themselves physically and mentally. Despite occasional tours of Major League ball clubs and all-star teams, baseball in Japan was largely limited to high school and college games. Probably an even bigger event than today's Japan Series, the annual National High School Baseball Tournament started in 1915. So established had amateur baseball become that some thought the idea of playing the sport for money profane.

Extractions: E xactly when baseball arrived in Japan isn't clear. Horace Wilson, a professor in Tokyo, is credited with introducing the American game to his students during the Meiji Era (1867-1912). This was the beginning of the assimilation of the Western game which the Japanese named Yakkyu, meaning "field ball." Since then, the game has developed into a popular pastime for the Japanese. During the Meiji restoration, as the Japanese began a process of modernization, they adopted many Western ideas. Western sports started to be introduced at this time, particularly baseball. According to Robert Whiting, the Japanese found the one-on-one battle between pitcher and batter similar in psychology to their native sumo and martial arts. It involved split second timing and a special harmony of mental and physical strength (p.6). Because of this, the Ministry of Education believed it was good for the national character and encouraged its growth. By the early twentieth century, the game flourished in schools and colleges. According to Microsoft's Complete Baseball (MCB) , Scholastic baseball hadand still hasthe same grip on Japanese fans that college football bowl games or the March Madness basketball tournament has on fans in the U.S..
