Missed It: Cromartie Still Plans To Sue

North American baseball player turned Japanese-league legend Warren Cromartie will not seek to bar the release of a live-action movie based on the Cromartie High School manga by Eiji Nonaka. However, Cromartie plans to continue to pursue legal action to get his name off the property.

In the farcical Cromartie High School, released in this country as both manga and anime by ADV, the high school most of the main bizarre tough-guy characters inhabit is named after Cromartie. Rival high schools in the manga are named for other foreign-born baseball players, notably Randy Bass and Orestes Destrade.
