[gdounito]

marty reisman talks about japanese as they are some kind of cheaters ...what an arrogant prick he thinks euro and usa players dominate the game?

[tadmats]

青森県出身の佐藤博治さんですね。戦後初の世界チャンピオン。こ­の時なぜか、藤井則和さんは優勝していない。Awesome movie!

I had one, but did not like it and played then ...only with wood!

[TheManinMoscow45]

One baaaad motherfucker.....killed those players with their own spin... That's why whenever I see grass or anti it's deadball serves all day long.

[JBrandonBehik]

Is that a sponge? or a thick rubber? @ 3:50

[bdsamlal]

What a silly game-equipment has always been the winner-from sponge to funny rubbers to speed glue-jeeez

Obvious hardbat bias? Where? Seemed like a pretty matter of fact representation to me.

[BicolBandit]

Great history, but there's obvious hardbat bias here. It's Reisman's usual flair for hyperbole.
