A complement to the I Am An American – Japanese Incarceration in a Time of Fear exhibit.

Sportswriter Jay Paris’ third book, Shohei Ohtani: The Amazing Story Of Baseball’s Two-Way Japanese Superstar tells the incredible story of how a humble player made the journey from Japan to Anaheim, while changing the game of baseball along the way.

Paris is a longtime Southern California writer, getting his start with the Orange County Register before going to San Diego in 1992 to cover the Chargers. That was his beat for more than two decades with San Diego-area newspapers, before being named a columnist with the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Paris, who attended Orange High School and Cal State Fullerton, has won numerous awards voted on by his peers in the Pro Football Writers of America. He has also been a staple on countless media platforms, everything from the MLB Network to KTLA and various radio outlets.

Now living in Cardiff, Paris is also the author of Game Of My Life Chargers and Game Of My Life Rams. He currently covers the NFL in Los Angeles for Forbes.com.
