For those of you who miss _base_ball already, I just found out that Fox Sports Net will televise 5 of the exibition games that the major leaguers will play in Japan. I remember ESPN used to televise them late at night but lately there has been no coverage. You will have to check your local listings because they will be on a tape delay due to the time difference. I think ESPN used to do them live. Anyway Vaughn, Hoffman, and Sosa are three p_layer_s who are there.
