Features
Fastballs in Japan
Newly
arrived on DVD, the delightful comedy Mr. Baseball may take liberties with
the conventions of a foreigner playing baseball in Japan but you might find it is closer
to reality than the comedy suggests. The accompanying excerpts from an 1972
interview conducted in Kobe, Japan with an American ballplayer going through everything
Jack Elliot endures might shed some additional light on the humor in Mr. Baseball.
