Reddit mentions of Baseball without Borders: The International Pastime

You may be interested in reading Baseball Without Borders, it deals with the way baseball is played and conceived in a number of countries around the world. If you are looking to compare and contrast a country's "league" with that of Major League Baseball the only real choice is Japan - and even that is difficult. (And this is only because the Caribbean countries, and South America, don't really have leagues of the same standard.) The classic You Gotta Have Wa covers things pretty well when it comes to NPB. More than just a listing of the numerical differences like stats and stadium sizes, it delves into the whole mind frame and how the sport is based on an entirely different perspective of the "team" mentality.

I haven't read any of these, but a look at a university library catalogue shows me these titles, some look pretty interesting!
