To me, the least accurate part is picking baseball to represent the right. I would've gone with wrestling, NASCAR, or maybe even football.

(I know the Japanese play baseball themselves... maybe it has a right-wing connotation there that's influencing the choice?)

One of the first words Japanese language learning resources teach you is the word for baseball. It's ้‡Ž็ƒ yakyuu ("field ball") btw

ๆฃ’็ƒ (bร ngqiรบ) in Chinese. Sort of means "stick/bat ball", but also maybe "awesome ball".
