Our good friend John Gilmore of Baseball International tipped us off through Bob Bavasi's JapanBall.com about an Internet home page highlighting former Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers owner -- and international baseball devotee -- Walter O'Malley.

On the 50th anniversary of the (Brooklyn) Dodgers' 1956 Goodwill Tour to Japan, the official O'Malley Web site has added a feature about the 19-game trip, including a game-by-game summary and photographs.

I checked it out, and it is a wonderful trip down memory lane, full of nostalgia, great pictures and interesting facts about the Bums from Flatbush and their time in Dai Nippon -- even before I got here.
