This is the story of the Asahi, a Japanese Canadian baseball team
that was formed in 1914 and competed in Vancouver's Caucasian
leagues between 1918 and 1941. Using a strategy called "brain
ball," the smaller Japanese defeated the larger white teams and won
a number of championships. This describes what happened to some of
these Asahi players after Pearl Harbor when British Columbia's
Japanese were sent to internment camps in the province's interior.
Here they played an important role in establishing baseball
leagues. Following the war, many former Asahis came to eastern
Canada where they continued to play an important role in baseball
as they began new lives. There is a second story here as well. It
is about a former Asahi fan who was determined that the Asahi
legend would not die and how she insured that what they meant to
the Japanese community before World War II would never be
forgotten.
