Baseball didn’t just travel to Japan, it became something bigger.
‘Homecoming: The Tokyo Series’ explores how the game evolved into a cultural tradition shaped by ritual, discipline, and devotion, culminating in MLB’s season opening Tokyo Series, where global stars like Shohei Ohtani return to play on home turf.
Through the lived experiences of players, fans, and families, the anticipation and emotion surrounding the games reveal how the sport transcends borders and becomes a way of life.
