Dr. Makio Mukia, 68, of Japan was a visitor to the Museum of Nebraska Major League Baseball on Saturday. A retired medical doctor (pathologist), he has been a Major League Baseball fan since he was eight years old and saw the New York Yankees when they visited Japan in 1955. Among the players he saw were Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Billy Martin. Loren Studley gave Dr. Mukai the tour. He later wrote a thank you note to Studley saying what a pleasure it was for him to visit the museum. Dr. Mukai, who has been writing a column for a Japanese newspaper, Asahi Shimbun, for the past eight years, plans to feature a column in August on the museum, which will also include photographs of the museum.
