  Hannibal Smith

  2.0 out of 5 stars Companion to Gotta Have Wa

  Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2005

  Aside from a few passages, this is merely an expansion upon Robert Whiting's 1980's classic You Gotta Have Wa, which chronicled the experience of American ballplayers in the NPB. Rather than interview career Japanese players, he elects to interview Americans who played in Japan. This merely expands upon themes discussed in no less than three of Whiting's books, and as a whole adds little to English language analysis of the game. It was disappointing when Whiting broke little new ground in his long-awaited book, and even more disappointing to see another derivative work. For the serious fan only.
