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.

I lived in Kyoto/Osaka for a few years, am fully literate in Japanese, and need the practice anyway. While I don't like talking about much else then the Tigers, Kakefuu, Bass, Arias, and Hoshino, feel free to send some necessary translation and such on my way.
This year of Japanese baseball will certainly be an interesting one. Rakuten and LiveDoor vs. the Old Boy Network!
