All Star Voting in English
I just headed over to the All Star voting page to cast my vote (and give some support to the 'Stars) and noticed that Sanyo (official sponsor) has set up their Internet All Star voting page in English this year! Mid-term results can be found here, also in English.

So, what are you waiting for? Go out and vote!

Now, if only some other official sites would go bilingual, ....

This is great! I can vote for the All-Stars and view the daily result updates.

I agree with Westbay. The NPB needs to do a better job of coordinated marketing among the teams to avoid the fate of the CFL. Many potential fans around the world are getting discouraged by not having easily accessable English and/or Spanish resources.

Tuffy Rhodes leads all Pacific Leaguers with 880,135 votes.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
