No longer confined to the United States and Canada, you can find youngsters with bat and ball all over the globe. And they all have one goal: to make it big in the majors. Every time an international player makes that leap, it is inevitably a mark of pride for their home country. All over Japan, newspapers have been trumpeting the success of Mikizo Kubo for having been picked up by Milwaukee. "Our loss is the world's gain", one paper reflected. "True, he won't be able to play in front of hometown fans anymore. But every time he takes the field, the world will know that he came from Japan.
