RATING
Continuing the theme of swapping exports, this 30 for 30 episode details the tumultuous journey of Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo on his way to playing professional baseball in the United States. After wowing major league players touring Japan, Nomo and his agent defied cultural norms and duped Japanese executives into paving a path across the Pacific. The currents of favor and dissent work so well with the narrative structure here, and the relevance of this singular story to the history of the professional ranks in the US makes it an especially poignant 45 minutes of audio.
