Details how a headstrong American ball player became a hero playing for a Japanese team on which other American players had failed and explores his struggle to adjust to Japanese culture.
Black, headstrong, and opinionated, Warren Cromartie hardly seemed the likelychoice to play baseball in Japan. He was a loner. He was also a slugger. During his fifth year with the Tokyo Giants he was named most valuable player, and his teammates voted unanimously that he not retire. This is the triumphantstory of Cro's sometimes angry, sometimes humorous, introduction to the Japanese way of doing things; the values and idiosyncrasies which are a part of the Japan of today.
