In addition to studying the role baseball has played in shaping US-Japan relations, we aim to deepen the cross-cultural ties of the two nations by organizing a youth baseball exchange. In August 2024, we will will send a little league team from Williamsburg, Virginia to Kamakura, Japan. There, the Kamakura and Williamsburg teams will play a series of exhibition games. We are excited to bring the youth, their families, and communities of the two historic cities closer together through the sport of baseball. Stayed tuned for more information!
