“By Means of Sports”: U.S.-Japan Baseball Exchange and the Construction of Post-War Japanese Identity
“BY MEANS OF SPORTS”: U.S.-JAPAN BASEBALL EXCHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF POST-WAR JAPANESE IDENTITY A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Asian Studies BY John Seymour, B.A. Washington, D.C. November 15, 2019 “BY MEANS OF SPORT”: U.S.-JAPAN BASEBALL EXCHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF POST-WAR JAPANESE IDENTITY John Seymour, B.A. Advisor: Kristen Looney, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Scholarship has recognized that a shared passion for baseball between the United States and Japan helped facilitate reconciliation between the two states after World War II, but not enough focus has been put on the role the long history of U.S.-Japan baseball cooperation played in this change. U.S.-Japan baseball exchange, which started in the nineteenth century, enabled Japan to pivot away from its wartime identity during the U.S. occupation after World War II in two key ways. First, the return of domestic Japanese baseball institutions, built through exchange and communication with the American baseball community, provided a bridge to Japan’s pre-war history and values. Second, U.S. occupation and Japanese authorities promoted baseball in the post-war period to facilitate better U.S.-Japan relations, using the sport to encourage the spread of democratic values and favorable opinions of the United States in Japan, while also repairing Japan’s image in the United States. Through these mechanisms, baseball played a major role in building a post-war Japan disassociated with its wartime militarism and situated for long-term alignment with the United States.

The Case of the Japanese Baseball League

EIJI YAMAMURA Seinan Gakuin University Address: Department of Economics, Seinan Gakuin University, 6-2-92 Sawara-ku, Nishijin, Fukuoka 814-8511, Japan E-mail address: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT In the Japanese Professional Baseball League, the starting pitcher is announced prior to the game in the Pacific League but not in the Central League. I attempt to investigate how the release of information concerning a starting pitcher prior to the game affects attendance. My major findings are: (1) In the Pacific League, the salary (and overall number of wins) of the home team’s starting pitcher is positively related to attendance, while that of the visiting team is not. (2) In the Central League, neither the salary (or the overall number of wins) of the home team’s starting pitcher nor that of the visiting team affect attendance. Keywords: Game information; attendance; Japanese Professional Baseball League 2 1. Introduction Demand for professional sports is one of the major issues in the field of sports economics and much research has been undertaken to ascertain the determinants of attendance for baseball games (e.g., Bruggink and Eaton 1996; Burdekin and Idson 1991; Hill et al. 1982; Hunt and Lewis 1976; Kahane and Shmanske 1997; Knowles et al.
