The picture of the 1957 ASA Fastpitch solfball team stationed in Chitose.  I became a member of the team after they had won the All-Far East Championship in Korea.  We were scheduled to go to the All-Armed Forces Tournament in the United States, but was cancelled for unknown reasons.  This team was lead by pitchers Tom Beale and Bill Borema.
