Protection Status Unavailable. Page URL:. Baseball and Multiculturalism Describe Mr. Selleck's expatriate entry into Japan and his reentry to the U. How did this global assignment effect his professional career? Initially, Selleck's character, Jack Elliot, is on the downside of his career, arrogant, and set in his ways.
When he is traded to a Japanese Team, the Nagoya Chunichi Dragons, he immediately clashes with his new manager, teammates, and most especially with Japanese culture.
Elliot is, indeed, the quintessential "Ugly American," demanding, snobbish, and unwilling to even entertain the thought that anything about another culture might have value. Finally, everyone has had enough of Elliot's Americanisms, including violence towards his interpreter, and he is suspended.
He does a bit of reflecting and realizes it is he who is on the "outside" of the culture, not everyone else. He swallows his pride, admits his errors, and apologizes to the team. Rather than gloating, the team shows true camaraderie and congratulates him on his honesty -- teaching him the true meaning of sportsmanship , team effort, and mutual cultural respect.
This reinvigorates Eliot and he begins to improve his own game. Download full paper NOW! In a cultural "switch," Eliot uses the Japanese tradition of being able to "tell off" your boss if intoxicated to offer suggestions that may help the Japanese players be more aggressive with the sport.
Eventually, both Eliot and the team improve to the point in which Max the other American player on the team signs a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Eliot, having become romantically involved with the coach's daughter Hiroko, accepts more and more of Japanese culture and becomes the coach of the Detroit Tigers.

Baseball" was released in , and Eliot appears to be in his early 40s, on the downside of his career, meaning he would likely have been born sometime in the s, schooled and culturally acclimatized in the s. We don't know exactly where his home town was, but since the film is loosely based on the life of African-American Lenron Lee, who played for the Lotte Orions in the late 70s up to , we can assume more of a "middle America" approach than a sophisticated Ivy League upbringing.
Because of this, it is important to remember that the Japan of the s and early 70s is not the Japan of the s. In the decades of the 60s and 70s, Japan was still known for "cheap knock offs," and tiny cars that needed work Honda, Toyota. American arrogance was high, the Cold War was rampant, and stereotypes left over from World War II still existed these would've been Eliot's parents.
Similarly, Americans were not encouraged to learn about other cultures, except to understand the U. As a major enemy; Japanese culture and language certainly were not readily taught in American Public Education, and in larger urban areas Asians tended to ghettoize.
About the only contact many Americans had with Asians would be at a local Chinese Restaurant, and very little distinction was made between various Asian cultures -- all were yellowish, had slanted eyes, were small boned, meek, and overly polite e.
