    n o s a e P.O.V. 19S Discussion Guide Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball A Film by Kenneth Eng www.pbs.org/pov P.O.V. n o s Discussion Guide | Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball a e 19S Letter from the Filmmaker NEW YORK, SPRING 2006 Dear Colleague, It started back in January of 2001 while we were working in India on the Projectile Arts documentary Take Me to the River, about a phenomenal Hindu gathering. We wanted to make another film with Projectile Arts that would bring an inspiring cultural experience to America. Surrounded by 20 million Hindu pilgrims at the world’s largest religious festival, the “Kumbh Mela,” our thoughts naturally turned to baseball (we both grew up in Boston as hopeless Red Sox fans). Ichiro Suzuki was about to become the first Japanese position player in Major League history. We were fascinated — the whole idea of Japanese baseball was so mysterious to many Americans, and we knew it could be a great window into Japanese culture. Director Kenneth Eng Of course, Ichiro’s first season in the Majors Photo courtesy of Kenneth Eng turned out to be one for the record books — on top of the personal achievements (the batting title, the Gold Glove, the Rookie of the Year award, and Most Valuable Player), Ichiro led his team to an American League record 116 wins. We discovered Robert Whiting’s book You Gotta Have Wa and learned for the first time about Japan’s National High School Baseball Tournament, known as the Koshien Tournament for its famous stadium.

Publicado por: Norland Rosendo Solo dos jugadores no japoneses fueron elegidos por los fanáticos de los Halcones de SoftBank en el equipo soñado de la pasada década y uno de ellos es el cubano Alfredo Despaigne, considerado como el mejor bateador designado. Los resultados de la singular encuesta fueron publicados recientemente por el portal nipón Baseball King y la mayoría de los atletas seleccionados aún militan en el club que ha ganado las tres últimas series de Japón de la NPB. Despaigne fichó por los Halcones desde que comenzó esa racha de campeonatos y en dicho lapso ha sido dos veces integrante del equipo ideal de la Liga del Pacífico (2017 y 2019). En su debut con la franquicia fue líder en jonrones (35) y empujadas (103) de su circuito. El toletero nacido en Santiago de Cuba, pero que ha jugado siempre con los Alazanes de Granma en series nacionales, acumula cien jonrones, 189 carreras anotadas y 265 empujadas con los Halcones de SoftBank, elenco que en la pasada década ganó seis veces el título.
