Same Game, Different Rules: The Culture and Practice of Baseball in Japan and the U.S.

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of baseball in Japan, the CIE-U.S. presents a timely webinar of America's national pastime and Japan's most popular sport. It is the same game, but the cultural and practical differences are striking, providing an ideal window through which to understand two differing societies. Baseball brings people and cultures together just as the Japan-America Grassroots Summit run by CIE-U.S.does. Join us for this exciting deep dive into baseball and the impact it has had on U.S.-Japan relations.
