Covering the business of education and training

I am writing this list a day BEFORE the Mitchell Report Steroid List comes out.

My boys, having grown up in Asia, their mother Japanese and all will be proud NOT to find any of these ball players on the list put out by the Mitchell Report.

The big leagues are accessible by hard work, diligence, skill and old fashioned hustle as well as stick-to-itiveness.

Here's a list of all the players in the big leagues that have come to MLB from Asia.

I am betting that none of them are on the list.
