Japan - US All Star Games

"You Gotta Have Wa" lists all the games through 1988.

The first American team played against a Japanese team in 1896. In 1908, the Reach All-Stars were the first pro team to play in Japan. The Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants became the first MLB teams to visit Japan in 1913. Amateur and professional teams went both ways across the Pacific for many years.

Here are the results of the MLB/NPB Super Major Series:

In the 1990s, on some of the odd numbered years the NPB champion would host the KBO and CPBL champs along with the Australian All-Stars for an Asian series. Recently, the Chiba Lotte Marines (NPB), Samsung Lions (KBO), Sinon Bulls (CPBL), and the China All-Stars met for the 2005 Konami Asia Series.
