Everyone Deserves to Get Involved
The project wants to get everyone involved as much as possible whether you are a student, scholar, or player.
Students should get involved by using this site, viewing the database, playing trivia, following our social medias, and reading the papers William & Mary students plan to publish this summer. A group of William & Mary students under the project are working on creating a book about US-Japan baseball diplomacy planning to be released in fall 2024, focusing on the diplomatic relationships and histories of the two states. Keep your eyes peeled!
Scholars should watch out for conferences held by William & Mary in fall 2023 where academics and players will speak on their experiences.
Players should be aware that the project is planning a trip where young American kids will be going to Japan to get real baseball experience and the chance to be immersed in another culture.
