Disputant leurs matchs locaux au terrain de la rue Powell, l\u2019\u00e9quipe \u00e9tait source de fiert\u00e9 pour tous les Canadiens d\u2019origine japonaise. Le recrutement ne se faisait pas uniquement \u00e0 Vancouver mais s\u2019\u00e9tendait partout dans la vall\u00e9e Fraser. Porter l\u2019uniforme Asahi devenait un r\u00eave pour tous les jeunes gar\u00e7ons japonais.<\/p>\n<p>Au cours des ann\u00e9es 20 et 30, les succ\u00e8s de l\u2019\u00e9quipe ont aid\u00e9 les japonais \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des ponts entre leurs communaut\u00e9s et celles des Canadiens. Men\u00e9e par les joueurs l\u00e9gendaires Junji Ito, Roy Yamamura et Tom Matoba, l\u2019\u00e9quipe a gagn\u00e9 le championnat de la Ligue Terminal en 1926. Dans les ann\u00e9es 30, la formation faisait partie de la prestigieux Ligue senior et attirait les foules sur la c\u00f4te ouest.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in 1937, the Asahi won the Pacific Northwest Championship five years in a row.\u00a0 However, 1941 would be the last carefree summer the boys would play as a team.\u00a0 Early in 1942, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Canadian government interned all people of Japanese descent, confiscating their property, and uprooting their lives. As a team, the Asahi never played together again. Yet, when these men, along with thousands of Japanese Canadians, were removed to prison camps, they took with them the spirit of baseball. Little by little, bats and balls appeared and these former Asahi players assembled baseball teams. Soon these men were playing against their RCMP prison guards, then with local townspeople \u2013 many of who had never seen a Japanese person before and were surprised to discover they spoke perfect English. Baseball, the ultimate symbol of North American culture, was a common bond. It helped dispel suspicions and fears and led to lasting friendships that exist today.<\/p>\n<p>Players names: Tameo Aoki, K.
