Ichiro Suzuki- Major League Baseball Player for the Seattle Mariners. Japanese.
Bobby Valentine- Manager for the Boston Red Sox (currently). pervious manager of the Chiba Lotte Mariners in Japan, where he found Ichiro.
acculturation- process of cultural and psychological change that results following meeting between cultures
euphoria- emotion as an intense state of transcendent happiness combined with an overwhelming sense of contentment
Both descriptions of these individuals help me further understand the story of how Ichiro was drafted in the the American Baseball League.
Both of these terms relate to the essay in a huge way. The first term refers to Ichiro's transition to the United States and the way people viewed him. The second term refers to the emotions that baseball causes for fans and players alike.
