Foreign Name in All Japan Line-Up

Foreign Name in All Japan Line-Up
The line up for the All Japan Team features a bit of a different twist. It has one name that is easy to spell. Robert Boothe, a senior and right handed pitcher at Asia University was named to the Japan team that will participate in the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam. The U.S. team from the Japan/U.S. series, Cuba, Netherlands National Teams, and Chinese Taipei will also participate in the ten day tourney at Neptunus Stadium. Japan plays Team USA the opening day and Cuba the second day. Tough start! The Japan team was selected as All Stars from the Touto University League:

The Japan team as announced is (sorry, it's still in Japanese only):

The Touto League just made the official announcement for the Japan team today on their home page (in Japanese).

There is one change from the previous post. Muramatsu, the MVP of the recent 36th Japan/USA Collegiate Series, which Japan won, was replaced by Hiroshi Takahashi from the same University. Muramatsu, a freshman at Kokugakuin, apparently had scholastic tests for mid-terms and opted not to go. At least, that is what they are saying.
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.
