Japanese leaders may copy SunTrust Park/Battery complex in Cobb

A group of leaders from Kitahiroshima, Japan visited SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta recently in hopes of building a similar complex there for a Japanese professional baseball team.

The Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters want to move their baseball team to a neighboring Japanese city.

Sent by the U.S. State Department, the four Japanese officials received instruction from Cobb County leaders on how SunTrustPark and The Battery Atlanta came together.
