I finally picked up my copy, looks like it has all kinds of stats in it.
As a side note to record books, the same company put out a 70 year history record book, but the price I saw at the bookstore was 30,000 yen! This baby's got 2 hardback books, and the weight felt like it was around 10 kilograms or so. I didn't have much time, but I glanced through it briefly, and it looked to have a whole slug of yearly stats, including year by year schedule win-loss charts for every team, and a whole bunch of other stats that I'd love to browse through. But that 30,000 yen price tag is a little bit over my budget right now. For those of you that can read Japanese, here's the link to the book on the Baseball Magazine Sha web site [Link]
*The book is the first one on the top of the page.

I am returning to Japan tomorrow. Would like to get the almanac. Where is it sold and how much was it?

You should be able to find it at any major bookstore in the sports section. It costs 2,400 yen plus tax. Not bad for over 1,000 pages.

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.

Now I can get to fielding, extended pitching and batting stats, and breaking up stints for those few players who played with more than one team this year. So much data, so little time!
