The first one (34 34 13N 135 35 27E) appears to be Fujiidera Kyujyo in Osaka, the former home of the Kintetsu Buffaloes.
The second one (34 44 38N 135 21 35E) is in Nishinomiya near Koshien. Any Hanshin fans know?
This is a great idea! I've been thinking of making maps to help people get to the various stadia, and Google is there to help. These need to go to a FAQ page.

I believe that's Nishinomiya Stadium, the Hankyu Braves' old ballpark. It closed in 2002, and I think they tore it down about a year ago.

This post on the Google Earth Community BBS has a set of markers for all of the Central, Pacific, and KBO teams (as well as the National Baseball Congress League).
The only error in the above set (that I know of) is that it still has the Fighters in Tokyo Dome, so you'll need to add Sapporo Dome (43 0 53.72N 141 24 36.07E) to your markers yourself.
Since some areas don't get as detailed satalite coverage as others, they're a little blury, like Fulcast Stadium. Still, this is neat.

I have updated the BBS file (with farm stadiums) and uploaded it here at the encyclopedia. cerealspoon deserves credit for creating the original file that this one is based on.

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.
