Wally Yonamine was both the first Japanese American to play for an NFL franchise and the first American to play professional baseball in Japan after World War II. This is the unlikely story of how a shy young man from the sugar plantations of Maui overcame prejudice to integrate two professional sports in two countries. In 1951 the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants chose Yonamine as the first American to play in Japan during the Allied occupation. He entered Japanese baseball when mistrust of Americans was high--and higher still for Japanese Americans whose parents had left the country a generation earlier. Without speaking the language, he helped introduce a hustling style of base running, shaking up the game for both Japanese players and fans. Along the way, Yonamine endured insults, dodged rocks thrown by fans, initiated riots, and was threatened by yakuza (the Japanese mafia). He also won batting titles, was named the 1957 MVP, coached and managed for twenty-five years, and was honored by the emperor of Japan. Overcoming bigotry and hardship on and off the field, Yonamine became a true national hero and a member of Japan's Baseball Hall of Fame. In addition to the foreword by Hawaiian senator Daniel K. Inouye, this Nebraska Paperback edition features a new preface by the author, commemorating Yonamine at his death in early 2011.Binding Type: Paperback

Over all a great toy!
Color: Red A, Color: Red A
This is a nice functional toy that doesn’t cost a whole lot. My dog has played many times with my husband: fetch, tug and just chewing on this reindeer. It also has several textures for him: smooth felt antlers and nose, rougher feet and hands( filled with squeakers, bumpy skin and its arms and legs can be pulled through the body.
Just a great toy to be interactive and it can be machine washed.
It is one I would buy again!

My dog loves it
Color: Brown
My dog loves this toy. It's the only toy I've seen her excited about. The only setback is that the squeaker only lasted for a few minutes. It is very well made. It is adorable.

Great small hide & seek toy for small dogs.
Color: 4 Pack, Color: 4 Pack
If you have a very small dog or puppy this is great value for the money. My girl was tired after playing with it. The material and sticking are well made. Each little animal toy that you stuff inside the tree have squeakers and are well made. This is NOT for large dogs or power chewers but you got a small dog it is great. Most hide & seek toys like this are very expensive.

Great tug toy!
Color: Brown
The dogs are LOVING this toy! I have one crazy chewer but for some reason it’s really held up well so far! Some toys she can take apart in ten minutes. They’ve been tugging this non stop for days and it looks great! Perfect size for two dog tugs. Bargain for the r price.

Didn't last an hour
Color: Brown
Didn't last an hour. Mini Aussie playing with it by himself and had it torn it apart in less than an hour. Not worth the money.
