Rakuten/Ichiba

Discussion in the Open Talk forum
Rakuten/Ichiba
So Rakuten makes their first big announcement as an official entity by saying they are going to try for Ichiba. Nice going, Marty! The kid is talented, but he's a mess. This is the first year of the franchise, a good story and they want to go after a guy that took down three owners.

Can we have a recount?

Did anyone else catch that their Internet shopping mall is called "Rakuten Ichiba"? Do they just want to have someone named Ichiba playing for their team so they get the implied advertising during game commentary? =)

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.
