Nomo... Sasaki... Ichiro... the so-called American \"National Pastime\" has developed a decidedly Japanese flair. Indeed, in this year's All-Star game, two of the starting American League outfielders were from Japan. And for the third straight year, Ichiro - the fleet-footed Seattle Mariner - received more votes for the All-Star game than any other player in the game today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome 15 years ago, in the bestseller \u003ci\u003eYou Gotta Have Wa\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Whiting examined how former American major league ballplayers tried to cope with a different culture while playing pro ball in Japan.

Not only have they had to deal with the American way of life, but they have individually changed the game in dramatic fashion.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.12 x 9.25 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 02, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44289543798886,"sku":"9780446531924","price":46.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/SDRRUE9BbzN3cEhBU3lBcGRNTktudz09.webp?v=1766768500","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-meaning-of-ichiro-the-new-wave-from-japan-and-the-transformation-of-our-national-pastime-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
