@AmbassadorRoos: RT @sportsdiplomacy: RT @talleyatstate: @cnnjill reports on #SecClinton's #SportsDiplomacy w/ #Japan & @RipkenBaseball: owl.li/633M9 -end of tweet- My comment: The government of U.S.A. should educate its own people that "American baseball" was introduced to Japan in 1872 and that Mr. Hiraoka is the man who first organized a baseball team called "Shinbashi Athletics" in 1878. A majority of the American citizens are ignorant of the fact that Japan had made every possible move to promote friendship with U.S.A. in those days. The government of U.S.A. still tends to pick up stories it considers suited to propagate only a good image of U.S.A. while neglecting a true history.
