Pro Yakyu Chukei
As I mentioned in my New Year's address, one thing I was thinking of implementing this year was audio broadcasts of games. I've now finished setting up and verifying that I can broadcast live through the JapaneseBaseball.com server via IceCast. To avoid IP (Intellectual Property) impared file formats, the broadcasts will be done in streaming Ogg Vorbis format. If you would like to listen in, I'd recommend verifying that your media player properly handles Ogg Vorbis files by checking with this test file and/or tuning into one of IceCast's live stations.

If your current media player cannot play Ogg format, I'd recommend Video LAN Client, available on FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Linux, Zaurus, and even that OS from Redmond that I hear is popular with virus writers and spammers. From audio source, to server, to client, Open Source makes all of this possible on a hobbiest's budget.

Yes. And I just did my first one last Monday as reported here.

You can still catch a replay or download the entire game. More information at the above link.
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.
