    But seriously, my girlfriend is Japanese. I'll ask her about it when she gets home.

    top left : home run
    third down on the right : out
    last on the right: batting

    those were in katakana (japanese alphabet used mostly for foreign words) , the others are in kanji which I don't know.

    Here are interpretations from my Japanese girlfriend- note that Japanese often does not translate perfectly:

    Starting from top left to right:

    1- Americans are so fat and lazy, they hit many home runs to avoid running bases....... Wait, that's not it. It actually says "Run in" meaning run scored.
    2- Home Run King Oosh*ta (the guy's name, put an "i" where the asterix is)
    3- The third guy is Kawakami
    5- Goose prize for best player- apparently they used to give a live goose to the MVP. Wierd.
    6- Out
    7- Player's name is Miyanaka
    8- Batting

    Edit to say "live goose". Also, my girlfriend told me to get a life.
  • Love goose huh?

    I'm sure it's a time worn tradition steeped in history, but I ain't goin' there. image

    Seriously though, has anyone mentioned how old these are?

    I was told that the live goose was a great prize and honor-food was in very short supply-I believe these cards are from post World War 2-1946,47,48 ect...
    thanks for the translations
    are they of any value?
    I bought them a while back because I liked the graphics Scott
