Episode notes

In his remarkable book from 1990, author Robert Whiting offers an intriguing and often humorous look at the differences and similarities between the national obsession over baseball in Japan and in the United States and a detailed account of the game of 'besoboru'.

To discuss the book we were thrilled to be joined again by John McGee from Bat Flips & Nerds, who was making his second appearance on the show after talking about Bottom of the 33rd in May 2019.
