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.

Vol. 3.05, John E. Gibson and Jim Allen discuss an interview with former NPB pitcher and current Seibu Lions scout Kevin Hodges, talk about Samurai Japan in the WBC and answer a listener question.
