differences between japanese and u.s. baseball
I read an article about mets’ japanese pitcher Kodai Senga and hadn’t realized the baseballs are different:

That's amazing. Never knew that. I guess it makes sense. At the time baseball came to Japan, the average Japanese male was around 5'3" and 120 lbs. For them, using a standard American baseball would be almost like us trying to play baseball with a softball. The outfield of Japanese ballparks also tends to be a lot smaller.
Now name the differences between Mexican and American baseball.Trick question--it's the same.
Both leagues have a minimum of 2 Gonzales,a Rodriguez,a Martinez and any other non-English speaking types.In America,MAYBE a couple White guy's.
