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.

One of the express purposes of this site is to learn about Asian culture through baseball. We can learn a lot about Taiwan here. Taiwan struggles with holding large organizations together, whether it be churches, other civic organizations, sports leagues, etc.
CPBL splintered into the TML and now the Popcorn league.
The divisiveness has reached new heights. The President of the Lamigo Monkeys has a new idea: Let each team have their home field and discuss broadcast rights individually.
