Take . . me out to the ball . .  game, buy me some soba and taco . . .yaki!?!  You may not know this, but the “Land of the Rising Sun” is also the land of the rising fastball.  Japan is coming up in the baseball world.  I know it's an American pastime but ever since a Japanese studied in America and returned to Japan in 1878 he introduced it to his fellow countrymen.  AND now it's a part of their pastime as ...
