New York-based author Rob Fitts will discuss his book Remembering Japanese Baseball: An Oral History of the Game at the next JapanBall “Chatter Up!” Zoom call. The winner of the 2005 Society of American Baseball Research and The Sporting News Award for Best Baseball Research, Remembering Japanese Baseball is a series of interviews Fitts conducted with former players, as well as one executive, who had deep connections to Japanese baseball. Featured players include Wally Yonamine, the first American player in Japan after World War II; Leron Lee, who had a successful eleven-year career in Japan; and Masaaki Mori, who won 20 Japan Series championships as a player, coach, and manager.
