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