Understanding Japanese Baseball

Japan and the United States have shared a common passion for baseball since the late 1800s. Nine players per side, nine innings per game, three out per inning -- same game, right? Maybe, and then again, maybe not. For centuries, Japan has assimilated the bet of many cultures and made the end result uniquely Japanese. "Understanding Japanese Baseball" takes a look at the shared summer pastime of Japan and the United States from the rules of the game to the fan's experience at the ball park.
