  • Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects by Daniel A
    Sports, Culture, and Asia Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects By Daniel A. Métraux A 1927 photo of Kenichi Zenimura, the father of Japanese-American baseball, standing between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Source: Japanese BallPlayers.com at http://tinyurl.com/zzydv3v. he essay that follows, with a primary focus on professional baseball, is intended as an in- troductory comparative overview of a game long played in the US and Japan. I hope it will provide readers with some context to learn more about a complex, evolving, and, most of all, Tfascinating topic, especially for lovers of baseball on both sides of the Pacific. Baseball, although seriously challenged by the popularity of other sports, has traditionally been considered America’s pastime and was for a long time the nation’s most popular sport. The game is an original American sport, but has sunk deep roots into other regions, including Latin America and East Asia. Baseball was introduced to Japan in the late nineteenth century and became the national sport there during the early post-World War II period. The game as it is played and organized in both countries, however, is considerably different. The basic rules are mostly the same, but cultural differences between Americans and Japanese are clearly reflected in how both nations approach their versions of baseball. Although players from both countries have flourished in both American and Japanese leagues, at times the cultural differences are substantial, and some attempts to bridge the gaps have ended in failure. Still, while doubtful the Japanese version has changed the American game, there is some evidence that the American version has exerted some changes in the Japanese game.

  • Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure Time Activities Have Always Excited Great Interest and Enthusiasm Among
    Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure time activities have always excited great interest and enthusiasm among Hawaii's residents. Long before Captain Cook's arrival, the ancient Hawaiians danced, sang, fished, played sports and games and produced works of considerable artistic merit.1 Since 1778, the range of recreational, entertainment, and sporting activities available to Islanders has greatly increased. It now encompasses parks, zoos, museums, and libraries, plays and movies, concerts and recorded music, radio and television, comic strips and crossword puzzles, and numerous participant and spectator sports, from professional baseball to snorkeling and hang gliding. To the social historian, the origins of these pursuits is a matter of considerable interest. It is impossible, obviously, to assign a date to the first Hawaiian konane game or holua sled, the first hula, or the earliest recreational fishing. More recent developments, however, can often be traced. When did Hawaii have its first community theater? Its first camera club ? Its earliest basketball game ? Information on such subjects frequently exists, but in widely scattered and poorly documented form. The following pages stem from an effort to pull some of this fugitive material together, to footnote it, and make it available to a wider public. The choice of items for inclusion was inevitably somewhat arbitrary and idiosyncratic, and their miscellaneous nature precluded any rigorous organizational format. Designating any event "first" is moreover a risky business: a compilation of this kind can hardly avoid occasional incom- pleteness and inaccuracy. With this caveat, then, here are the "firsts". Robert C. Schmitt is Hawaii State Statistician.

Although there wasn’t an obvious moment of epiphany, my project eventually underwent what was tantamount to a Copernican Revo- lution. Perhaps the matter-of-fact narratives about the foreign workers’ trajectories to Japan bored me. The reams of documents and statistics I collected didn’t seem to lead anywhere, leaving me with answers in search of questions. Here the efflorescence of whiteness studies in the United States was inspiring. Rather than taking the majority population—whether white Americans or mainstream Japanese—for granted, the challenge was to explicate why and how the majority became the norm that escaped scru- tiny, free from historical reflection or contemporary critique.

  • Wally Yonamine – a Hawaii Sports Pioneer
    Wally Yonamine – a Hawaii sports pioneer By Wes Nakama HHSAA Assistant Director of Information Wally Yonamine, a legendary former Hawai‘i high school athlete whose charitable foundation is the long-term title sponsor for the HHSAA baseball state tournament, died Feb. 28 at age 85 after a long battle with cancer. Yonamine grew up in the tiny plantation town of Olowalu, Maui and was a standout running back and all-around athlete at Lahainaluna High School. He later starred on Farrington’s football team and was believed to be the first Asian American in pro football after earning a roster spot with the San Francisco 49ers. Yonamine also played professional baseball for the San Francisco Seals and Salt Lake City Bees before becoming a pioneer in Japan’s major league while playing for the Yomiuri Giants in the 1950s. He won three batting championships, finished his career with a lifetime .311 average and is credited with revolutionizing the game there by introducing an American style of strategy. Yonamine later became a coach and manager in Japan and was inducted into that country’s Baseball Hall of Fame. Since 1997, the Wally Yonamine Foundation has sponsored the baseball state tournament and in 2006 it created a $200,000 endowment that ensured the tournament’s financial solvency for the foreseeable future. “Coming from a small hick town on Maui, I really feel Hawai‘i did a lot for me, so I’m glad I can be one of those guys who can give back to Hawai‘i,” Yonamine told The Honolulu Advertiser after making the donation.
