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.

NOTE: My blog will end on Thursday in Japan & by the time I return to Japan, for those of you who read.
We plan to record the JBW as usual….
Look for us on iTunes, search for Japan Baseball Weekly and subscribe for automatic downloads.
Please email the show at yakyujohn@gmail.com
We want to invite you to send us your comments and questions via MP3 file so we can play them on the show. If you have an IC recorder, or the latest version of FIREFOX there’s an “online radio recorder” that you can use to record your message and easily transfer the file via email. If neither works for you, there’s a free software call WavePad Sound Editor that you can download and use to record your file.
Please keep the questions to less than one minute and we’ll play it on the show and address the issues you present….. We look forward to your MP3s!!
