I'm not sure if you've heard of the Vancouver Ashahi, a team of Japanese Canadian amateur baseball players, who excelled in Vancouver leagues for a number of years from 1914 to 1941 and internment. A great book, Asahi by Pat Adachi has their story with a tremendous number of old sepia photos. There is also a video called Sleeping Tigers: The Asahi Baseball Story. The Ashahi have been inducted into both the BC Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
