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.

We've discussed having fan-based interviews, where fans submit questions (like this), and the best questions get forwarded to players during the season for them to answer. This can be considered a test of such "fan service," so I hope to field some really good questions here before heading to Chiba on Thursday. (And, yes, I've explained the video access outside of Japan problem to them. A solution is in the works - but may take some time.)
I would like to be able to ask questions in the form of: If you could please include your name and where you're from with your questions, it'll help make a potential Q&A session look a little more professional (I hope).
So, let's hear from you.
