Question: The 30th anniversary of Hideo Nomo won the 30th anniversary of the year’s best rookie. What does the influence of Japanese players on the American Professional Baseball League?
Bobby Valentine: “That’s the same year when I went to Japan, Nomo came here. I tried to make a statement. I brought a child who could not let Yomiuri giant pitch and took him to my employee Takashi Kashiwada (1997). He won a game in the league! He is sometimes OK.
“Now, I don’t want all players in Japan to play in the United States. Why do you destroy the whole world? Just for more money? What I think Japan will eventually do is to change their own model and increase salary. Now, they are building construction The new stadium is to increase income, wait, etc., etc., so that the players can stay there. Moreover, if they leave the players there, they will eventually expand in the baseball industry in Asia. It was my thoughts for a long time, and because, because the U.S. professional base alliance did not expect this idea, I think they decided to do it in their own way.
“The way they do this is the way of the American Black League-they took the best players and then took away other players. When this happened, the league would fold. And I don’t want to happen in Japan The situation is because in Japan, baseball is the first movement of that country.
