Yasiel Puig, Robinson Cano and a star-studded lineup of Major Leaguers will play a five-game set against a Japanese All-Star team this week. The series begins on Tuesday, Nov. 11, with an exhibition game and will run through Thursday, Nov. 20. On Saturday, MLB's team took off from L.A. for their jaunt across the Pacific. Let's join them.
