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. 9.33, Jim Allen and John E. Gibson unpack a chat with Seibu wins leader Zach Neal (apologies for the poor sound quality!!), talk about the Lions, the first rounds of the PL and CL Climax Series, the sudden resignation of Carp skipper Koichi Ogata (Yakult’s Shingo Takatsu introduced and Nippon Ham’s Hideki Kuriyama sticks around), the passing of pitching legend Masaichi Kaneda and then handle some HighHeat.
