In celebration of AAPI Heritage Month, They Call Us Bruce is putting a spotlight on some of our podcast friends, so we’re featuring an episode from Asians in Baseball, one of our sister podcasts from the Potluck Podcast Collective. Hosted by Scott Okamoto, Kim Cooper, and Naomi Ko, Asians in Baseball is about ... Asians in baseball. Each week, they break down what’s notable with the Asian players in professional baseball and then take a deeper dive into the Asians and Asian Americans who have shaped baseball as it is today. On the episode featured here, Scott, Kim and Naomi do indeed discuss Asians in baseball, and do a player profile of legendary hitter Hideki Matsui.
