There may also be a slight tinge of ethnocentricity clouding the issue: Shigeo Nagashima, now the Giants manager, told a meeting of supporters in 1999 that he wanted to make an all-kokusan (made-in-Japan) Giants team. There is currently a limit of three foreign players per team. Longtime Tokyo-based sports journalist Marty Kuehnert wrote a critical piece about Nagashima's remarks, in which he despaired at the cultural differences still separating the two countries.

He sees no limit to Kinkade's global potential. "We have about an 80% acceptance ratio in the U.S., which is huge!" he says. "That means 80% of Americans accept Thomas Kinkade as a viable commodity or product to go into their home." The reason for Kinkade's appeal is simple, Barnett believes.
