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.

I'm sure many of you have MySpace accounts, but for those that don't, a quick re-cap: When you log in, MySpace throws up two or three random "cool people" for you to browse and, if you feel like it, contact. It is a random process.
Anyway, I logged in today, and one of the "cool people" that appeared was "Yusaku." Click. Turned out to be Yusaku Iriki, who says: "i am from tokyo, i am 34 years old. i used to play baseball for the Tokyo Giants and Hokkaido Nippon Ham Figthers and now i am play for the New York mets.
It's weird who you find on MySpace.
