Japan Baseball Experience

On a sunny spring afternoon in 1990 during the first day of my first visit to Japan, I went to a Japanese professional baseball game. I was hooked.

Since then I've returned many, many times and whenever I attend a game I always have a terrific outing and generally find something new that our Japanese baseball counterparts are doing.

It began to occur to me that if I enjoyed myself at these games, then maybe baseball fans would too. So, in addition to business taking me to Japan, I've hosted tours there since 1996.

My wife, Margaret, and I for years owned and operated the Everett AquaSox, a Class A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Upon the sale of that club we now work with family members through Bavasi Sports Partners on baseball-related projects here and abroad. I continue to enjoy building baseball relationships with Japan and, as such, I invite you to join in these trips.

You're invited to see the games, meet the people, and expand your horizons in a country that's hip, forward thinking, yet very traditional. Come explore how the Japanese have taken baseball, put their own spin on it, and how you can enjoy it and their culture.

You can count on an in-depth and personal view of Japan that I don't believe you could duplicate with any commercial tour. I promise you a truly remarkable time on our Japan Baseball Experience.
