Mr. Toyoda was one of the most valuable

and earned the nickname “Samurai” for his
uncanny ability to come through in the clutch
with hits and catches.
He is now a renowned baseball commentator,
major newspaper and magazine columnist, and
author. At this lecture he will be discussing
the societal role of baseball in Japan and the
United States as well as what sets
professionals and amateurs apart.
Mr. Toyoda will also touch on how he has seen
U.S. - Japan relations change throughout his
lifetime and on his own role as a
“Baseball Ambassador.”
