<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 430972, member: 33&quot;]I don&#039;t usually comment on very old threads, especially when the original poster hasn&#039;t been here in quite a while. But I ran across the link I was going to post last time, and also a different one that talks about a 2017 biography of Lefty O&#039;Doul, a former major league baseball player who managed the minor league San Francisco Seals in the late 1940s when they visited Japan. He had a lot to do with popularizing professional baseball in Japan. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the post I referred to in my comment above:</p><p><a href="https://www.californiapioneers.org/museum/exh2/2009-2010-the-san-francisco-seals-goodwill-baseball-tour-of-japan-1949/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.californiapioneers.org/museum/exh2/2009-2010-the-san-francisco-seals-goodwill-baseball-tour-of-japan-1949/" rel="nofollow">https://www.californiapioneers.org/museum/exh2/2009-2010-the-san-francisco-seals-goodwill-baseball-tour-of-japan-1949/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also just found this one:</p><p><a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/remarkable-lefty-odoul-detailed-in-new-book/c-228451400" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mlb.com/news/remarkable-lefty-odoul-detailed-in-new-book/c-228451400" rel="nofollow">https://www.mlb.com/news/remarkable-lefty-odoul-detailed-in-new-book/c-228451400</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, dcfirebottle hasn&#039;t been seen here since last March so didn&#039;t even see the post from July! Maybe he will come back some time, since he was active here for a few months. (Tried to tag him but couldn&#039;t for some reason...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
