Business of Baseball?
Would anyone know where I can get financial information about professional Japanese baseball? I am doing a report for school on the financial aspect of Japanese Baseball vs. US baseball. Thanks a lot for your help!

I'm afraid that this has been asked a number of times, but there really isn't any concrete financial information out there. The parent companies put out vague statements about how the teams do financially, usually crafted to reduce player salaries.
The only thing I can suggest is to snail-mail all of the teams (addresses are in the FAQ) and ask them each individually. But I doubt if they'll be very forthcoming as transparency is not high on their list of priorities.
I'm afraid you've chosen a topic that will be very difficult to research.

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.
