I wanted to do a quick post on the current and former NPB players on the rosters of the Premier 12 teams (other than
the Samurai Japan roster of course). As far as I can tell, there's at least one NPB player on every team except the Netherlands (surprisingly neither Wladimir Balentien or Rick Van Den Hurk are on the team). I think that the only NPB player from Team Australia is Daryl George who was an
ikusei player with the Buffaloes a couple years back. I don't list him with the rest of the players because I don't have any Japanese cards of him.
The article on the WBSC's website describing Cuba's roster lists Oscar Colas of the Hawks but
their actual roster does not so I don't have him listed here. It wouldn't surprise me if I missed a couple players.
UPDATE -
Steve Smith pointed out that I had missed that Travis Blackley of the Australian team had played in NPB. He also provided me with a photo of a card of George. I've updated the post to include these cards. Thanks Steve!
