Ninja Samurai Yakyuu Desu

What happens if you stick a ninja and a samurai in baseball?? Also known as How Baseball came to Japan.

Old Manga Idea from forever-ago...

A Ninja and a Samurai are fighting at night in ancient Japan when they end up in a tremendously thick fog and reappear in the future (read present day Japan), where they are found by a teenaged mini-league baseball player. He stops them from killing each other by imploring to their honour and asking for help in baseball. They join his team (cuz they're approx. the same age), but must learn everything (pitching, hitting, teamwork, etc) in order to help the boy win, cuz his team actually sucks miserably.

For reference: the samurai starts off thwacking the ball into the ground like it's a leaf he has to strike.... with a sword. By the end he's an amazing batter, cuz he got the reflexes. NOt so good at throwing though, since that would be unhonourable :P

The ninja throws a wicked sidearm, but but is incredibly disappointed that his ball doesn't have deadly weapons on the end... he also is great at running bases, but isn't so good at batting.
