Hey, Dave,
I give a little bit more information about the above catchers in my two part "Foreign Catcher" series here:
Part I
Part II
If you read Japanese (and are in Japan), my column in the upcoming "Baseball Magazine" (on sale March 19, 2013) looks a little more at the circumstances behind Bucky Harris' career, quickly mentions all the other guys, and asks if the "communication barrier" is real.

Michael,
Thanks so much for the research. I've been wondering about this for a while.
I feel kind of stupid for asking the question after you'd just put out the information - I've been meaning to follow your podcasts but I just hadn't gotten around to it.
Thanks again,
Dave

Thanks, Dave.
I know that video is harder to follow than audio, so it's understandable. It's the future, not the present.
Hope you enjoy.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
