Growing up overseas as a military child was a fantastic experience; even more fantastic was the opportunity to play baseball and represent the very best of a particular military installations youth against well driven, skilled, and disciplined Japanese Baseball teams in Little League Baseball. We were called the Yokota Tigers, and in this episode, I talk about my unique experience. How i got into to baseball, and how it lead to me being sought out to play for the Yokota Tigers. I played in three different leagues, the minors, majors, and seniors. This is the first of a three part series in which I will speak on my experience from each individual league. The minors is where it all began, so of course I'll mention some notable coaches, players and/or teammates, and get into the kind of work ethic, practice and dedication warranted to compete with the host nation. Hope you enjoy!
