Remembering Wally Yonamine, 1925–2011

In remembrance of Wally Yonamine (24 June 1925–28 February 2011), here is a collection of links to excerpts I blogged a few years ago from a fascinating biography of him, Wally Yonamine: The Man Who Changed Japanese Baseball, by Robert K. Fitts (U. Nebraska Press, 2008).

• Ethnic Baseball in Hawai‘i, 1920s–40s
• American Influence on Japanese Baseball, 1953
• Yomiuri Giant Nagashima as Manager, 1970s
• Japanese vs. American Baseball Practice
