Chris Young is keeping a daily blog about his trip to the Pacific Rim for the Japan All-Star Series. You can follow his adventures here. Young will most likely start for the Major League Baseball All-Stars on either 11/7 in Osaka or 11/8 in Fukuoka. Both games start at 4:00 am ET.
The second half of 2006 has been a period of strong Japan/Princeton basketball synergy, with Mason Rocca's visit for the FIBA World Basketball Championships, Coach Thompson's trip as part of "Operation Hardwood III," Chris Young's journey and my parents' vacation all happening in the last three months.
