In a sign of something, changing times maybe, Japanese baseball teams are turning more and more to hiring American managers, who numbered three at last count and who at one time were totally shunned as being “too easy.”
Bobby Valentine’s having won the Japan Series in 2005 helped open the tricklegates to the other Americans, all of whom eschew Japan’s notoriously strict training regimen in favor of more relaxed American standards.
It’s about time we reversed the tide on the Pacific Ocean between here and Japan, even if it is only a small wave and not a wall of sea.
