Extractions: Robert Whiting wrote the definitive book on Japanese baseball in You Gotta Have Wa, exposing the idiosyncrasies of the game as it is played in Japan. In The Meaning of Ichiro, Whiting takes a look at how the influx of Japanese players to America and the major leagues has affected all those involved. The title comes from Ichiro Suzuki, the first every day player to come from Japan and sign with the Seattle Mariners. While a few pitchers had been signed by MLB, no every day player had ever caught on with a major league team, due in part to the notion that Japanese players were simply inferior to American born players. Ichiro immediately changed all of that by instantly become one of the best all around talents in MLB, winning a batting title in his first season and leading all players in votes garnered for the All-Star Game. MLB immediately began taking Japanese baseball more seriously and Whiting documents the steady flow of players looking to make the jump across the Pacific.

Clubbing GAME PLAN Ham take on Hawks at Tokyo Dome While the Nippon Ham Fighters are now the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and based in Sapporo, they have not forgotten their previous home, the Tokyo Dome. As a result, they are playing several series of games there throughout the season, and none are bigger than those against the current Japan Series champions the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks from June 7-9. Trey Hillman's men seem to have made a smooth transition to their new home, and the addition of pretty boy Tsuyoshi Shinjo has proven to be a good acquisition, both as a selling point (ham just doesn't do it) and, more surprisingly, as a player. Whether or not they can halt Sadaharu Oh's powerful Hawks remains to be seen.

Extractions: We have received a number of favorable comments regarding Bill Clark's recent article on international baseball. It seems there are numerous baseball fans sprinkled among our readership. With spring training just around the corner, we thought another report from the Atlanta Braves' International Director of Scouting would be in order. In the 1970s, I had the good fortune to be a part of the "Big Red Machine," the Cincinnati Reds' organization which won four National League championships, and two World Series crowns. We started to take ourselves seriously until Robert Howsam, the Reds' wise president, pointed out that we may have the most dominant organization in all of baseball, but no less than a dozen major grocery supermarkets in the Cincinnati area had larger gross incomes than the Reds. In 1974, the New York Yankees became the first professional team to have a $1 million payroll . The Reds joined the Millionaire Club the following year. Today, the average salary of the 700 US major leaguers was well over $1 million - each! Individual salaries have accelerated to more than $10 million a year - ten times what the 1975 Reds paid in salaries to an entire 25-man roster.
