Garden Lecture: Japanese American Baseball

Bill Staples displays his love of the game whenever you talk with him. Baseball is what animates him and this was apparent during his lecture last Sunday. He flows through the history of Japanese American baseball with ease and specifically presents details about one pioneer, Kenichi Zenimura. There are so many contributing facts to this story, you may want to purchase his book (availabe in the Gift Shop) to learn all you can about this fascinating chapter of baseball history. Thanks to Bill for providing one more aspect of Japanese culture!
