From the author of Tokyo Junkie, "the definitive book on Japanese baseball and one of the best-written sports books ever" (San Francisco Chronicle). One might expect the sport of baseball in Japan to be a culture clash-a collision of American individualism with the Japanese focus on wa, or harmony. Instead, it has turned into a winning symbiosis. Imported American sluggers-some past their primes-have found new life in the East and have given credibility to the Japanese game. A succession of Japanese stars like Hideo Nomo left their teams to find success in the US major leagues, enabling MLB International to make hundreds of millions of dollars selling TV and licensing rights to its games in Japan. While philosophical differences remain, You Gotta Have Wa guides you through the strange and fascinating world of besuboru, or baseball. With a history of the game in Japan and an overview of the Japanese leagues and their rules, this book follows the careers of players and managers who influenced the game in the East and vice versa-including Babe Ruth, Ichiro Suzuki, Bobby Valentine, and Sadaharu Oh, the Japanese homerun king. Whether you are a Yankees or a Red Sox fan, a sports or an enthusiast of Japanese culture, "simply sit back and enjoy the wonderful stories in You Gotta Have Wa, one of the most unusual baseball books of the season" (The New York Times). "A wonderfully entertaining look at baseball and wa." -Time "A terrific, fast-paced account of Japanese baseball." -Chicago Tribune "A funny look at baseball in Japan that is as much a work of cultural anthropology as a sports book." -Playboy.

A hilarious, informative, and riveting account of Japanese baseball and the cultural clashes that ensued when Americans began playing there professionally. In Japan, baseball is a way of life. It is a philosophy. It is besuboru. Its most important element is wa—group harmony—embodied in the proverb "The nail that sticks up shall be hammered down." In this witty and incisive book, Robert Whiting gives us a close-up look at besuboru's teams, obsessive ritualism, and history, as seen through the eyes of American players who found the Japanese approach—rigorous pregame practices, the tolerance for tie games, injured pitchers encouraged to “pitch through the pain”—completely baffling. With vivid accounts of East meeting West, involving Babe Ruth, Ichiro Suzuki, Bobby Valentine, Japanese home run king Sadaharu Oh, and many others, this lively and completely unique book is an utter gem and baseball classic. Paperback, Ausgabe: Original, Label: Vintage, Vintage, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2009-03-24, Freigegeben: 2009-03-24, Studio: Vintage, Verkaufsrang: 123499.
