Ok honestly I thought this was going to be a pretty lame project but ended up coming together nicely. I have to give my group mad props since they really picked up my slack. Recently my brand new computer broke on me. My processor, hard drive, DVD drive, and motherboard all went dead. So I had lost a ton of work, and I had a lot going on with my senior design project. I was not able to put in a strong effort with this project but the rest of the group got together and did what they needed to do.
They ended up giving me the task of researching Japanese headdress and baseball caps. I was really intrigued with what I found out about baseball caps, how they came along and how the Japanese pick up the game of baseball. I am a sports fanatic and baseball is one of my favorite sports. So this is the reason I rambled on when it was my turn to read my research during our presentation lol. I know a couple of my group members were laughin cause they said I talked too much about baseball. But I was just trying to show everyone how they adopted the game and emphasize how baseball is embedded into both American and Japanese culture.
Some of the thing I didnt know was how both the USA and Japan are the leaders in the sport. Actually the World Baseball Classic was just started in 2006 (The WBC is a baseball tournament that brings all of the worlds best baseball players to compete of a world title every three years), and Japan has won the title both in 2006 and 2009.
