My old boyfriend, being one of the few foreigners on the team, was a 6'4" Puerto Rican. We were quite a spectacle when we walked down the street! I still have never seen men in business suits going absolutely crazy in the stands like I did there! I love baseball in Japan!

I am a foreigner, or gaijin, on my second stretch living in Japan and I really do love the country. I'm glad that you find the information useful. By the way, I was born in Canada so I'll second the "go,Jays, go" part! Jon, Fukudome is a person and it is pronounced "fu-koo-dough-may". There is a stadium in Fukuoka (southern Japan) that you may be referring to and that is pronounced "fu-koo-oh-ka". First of all thank you so much for your kind comments, Helen.

Yeah. baseball is understood in any language. (Go Jays Go) smile... Are you based in Japan, but come from another country so as to help others enjoy and learn about Japan? Just wondering. I really enjoy your articles. So many leads to information. Thanks, Helen Shane,
