Slight wear; Dust Jacket light spine sun, otherwise slight wear. Crisp hardcover. ; INSCRIBED on front free endpaper by co-author David Falkner. Publicity flyer and photo from Times Books laid in. "Japan's greatest baseball star trained with a sword as well as a bat to become the most productive home-run hitter of all time and a man of unusual spiritual dimension. . It was not until Oh met Hiroshi Arakawa, who became Oh's lifelong mentor, that Oh began to fulfill his potential. Arakawa's training methods will seem unusual to Western readers: Zen philosophy and the martial arts were the methods used to make Oh the biggest home-run hitter of all time. Through the story of Oh's career, the reader will see how Japan has adopted Western customs but translated them into a form that is purely Japanese."
