Merry Christmas to you Christopher. I am afraid these will be above my budget but interesting.
One question if may ask you? Why are you not written as a writer for this website? Your blog is more active than any of the other sections on this website. There is a list of writers but you are not there? How can this be so?
I value your effort very much sir.

Many thanks for the kind comments.
As for your question you would have to ask Michael (the owner of the site) but I would suspect that the writers are actually those who publish either aticles or books on Japanese baseball. Bloggers are those of us who write online but without being published in the old style print media. I suspect that this is the reason.
