"Nothing says spring like baseball, no matter where you are. This little boy is especially lucky — he gets to experience baseball with two grandfathers: Pop Pop in America and Ji Ji in Japan. Some things are very different. The American pitcher throws a 95 mile-per-hour fastball, while the Japanese tousu throws a 153 kilometer-per-hour sokkyu. In America, they cheer “Win! Win! Win!” In Japan, they cheer “Do your best!” Hot dogs and peanuts in America; soba noodles and edamame in Japan. But love of the game and the pleasures of hanging out with Grandpa are universal. (For ages 2 to 6)"
