Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I know I have seen several postcards from 1909 of the Wisconsin baseball team from their trip to Japan. I know nothing about the trip, but I have seen many other shots. I believe most of them were sold by Dan Yaw (gt.pro) a year or so back.

Posted By: <b>Douglas</b><p>Found this online at Milwaukee Journal Sentinal site:<br><br>AUG. 31, 1909 -- Thirteen players on the University of Wisconsin baseball team, along with a manager, an interpreter and a press correspondent, set sail from Seattle to play a series of nine games in Japan. Forty-four days later the team leaves Japan for home. <br><br>From what I've learned they played two teams, Keio University and Wasada University. Hope this helps.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I'm a Badger, so enjoyed seeing the postcard. I also forwarded the pic to a 80-something retired Japanese speaking UW professor who will get a kick out of it.
