Inhaltsangabe

A talented player who excelled at all nine positions, Kenichi Zenimura (1900-1968) was also a respected manager who would become the most influential figure in the Japanese American Nisei baseball leagues. He worked tirelessly to promote the game at home and abroad, leading goodwill trips to Asia, helping to negotiate tours of Japan by Negro League All-Stars and Babe Ruth, and establishing a 32-team league behind the barbed wire of Arizona's Gila River Internment Camp during World War II. This first biography of the "Father of Japanese American Baseball" delivers a thorough and fascinating account of Zenimura's life.
