![]() ![]() So are you ready to dive in? Let’s go…uh, baseball. As serious as the Oakland A’s are about applying sabremetrics to selecting players, I am just as serious about applying similar metrics to choosing a baseball team. Now I take baseball very seriously, so choosing the right team isn’t a matter of Eenie-meenie-miney-mo or, in Japanese terms, Jan-Ken-Po. But when you move to a new country, you have no sentimental ties to any particular team. I was born in Oakland and grew up in the East Bay, so the Oakland A’s are my team for life. In America, it was never much of a decision. Keep in mind this article is supposed to be in good fun, so don’t take offense (especially if you are a Yakult Swallows diehard fan)!īelieve it or not, one of the greatest early challenges for me as I relocate to Japan is choosing what baseball team to root for. If you know nothing about Japanese baseball, maybe you’ll learn a little bit from this fun article. Note: Taking a break from the serious topics to talk about something fun, baseball. ![]()
