Guthrie reconnects with family, heritage in Japan

Participating in the Japan All-Star Series has given Jeremy Guthrie the chance to connect with a side of his family he had never met. “It was very gratifying, rewarding to be able to meet family,” Guthrie said. “In my family, everybody that I’ve ever known in my lifetime has been a Japanese-American. … I think it really completes that feeling, that heritage that I’ve had a kinship toward my entire life.”
