Pat Adachi wrote a beautiful book on the Vancouver Asahi, which played in the Vancouver senior leagues. It is normally available on the used book sites, and has wonderful sepia photos
Here's a copy of the book cover
Here's a photo of Tom Makoba, who I believe was identified as a bat boy.
Finally, the Nikeii Museum here in Burnaby BC has had a wonderful Asahi display. I'll dig up the links and post some of the photos from that.
