Colonial-Era Japanese Baseball Teams

Colonial-Era Japanese Baseball Teams
Hello - I have a collection of 1930's-1940's Malaysian photographs from the town of DUNGUN, Malaysia. One photograph depicts a baseball team, seated on the field with baseball bats spread out in front. About three or four of the players are wearing identical hats with the letter "D". As Dungun, Malaysia was a colony of the UK until 1942 - and a Japanese colony from 1942-1945 - my guess is this photo must be from the Japanese occupation. Does anybody have any info on this team or Colonial Japanese baseball in general?

Thanks - Matt in Taipei.

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.
