TOKYO, Japan — Konnichiwa!
That’s about the extent of my knowledge of the Japanese language, unfortunately. But the good news is I have arrived in the land of the rising sun for MLB’s Opening Series between the A’s and Mariners.
There are plenty of things I’d like to explore out here and will share with all of you by putting together these journal entries throughout the week.
But they say the journey is just as important as the destination and the journey I’m coming off of is quite a unique one.
First of all, shout out to my employer, Bay Area News Group, for allowing me to make this trip.
