I'd really like to see baseball expand into Brazil. Nice website, I'll have to brush up on my Portuguese and check it out. Thanks for your comment. I’d really like to see baseball expand into Brazil.

In Japan, there are about 20 players in high-school, college and Non-professional (industrial league) leagues. There is a player who has a lot of potencial. His name is Pedro Ivo Okuda e Silva and he is playing for Honjo Daiichi High-school. He played in the last Koshien, hitting a rare "sayonara" homerun (walk of homerun).

The article said that he saw Koshien on TV (presumably in Korea), and then transferred to this Kyoto International High School in Japan. You had it right.

But I guess he could have been watching Koshien before then, eh. Although, Koshien isn't on TV here. But I'll stop speculating and just wish him the best.

He decided to transfer at 15 to transfer to a school in Japan after seeing Koshien on TV. Ahh... I see what threw you... it must be the items in parentheses.

I wonder if they're reporting that correctly. If it does exist they must not have a baseball team...I've never heard of it.
