I know the Japanese are even more enthusiastic about baseball than the Americans and that we get a significant number of our better players from Japanese professional teams. Do you think that the following is the beginning of a trend that may change the face of baseball in both countries?

Then again, America is still too religiously backwards to consider such a thing, at least in the first half of this century.

Japan is a case of Equality-Through-Fetishism. If it can be played out in manga or anime, eventually someone'll try to make it real.

Highly doubtful. Given Japan I mean.
