Japanese for "Inter-League Play"?
I see the kanji for inter-league play on Japanese sites and my guess is "koh___sen" - the middle character I know is the kanji used in "slicing the ball" or "hitting it the other way" (nagashi-uchi), but I'm sure it's the other reading.

I've added it to the page of terms in the Pro Yakyu Wiki. Scroll all the way down to the "General" section.
In short, it's pronounced "koh-ryu-sen." The "ryu" is the same as Ochiai-kantoku's infamous "ore-ryu" or "my-way" pre-season work outs when he was a ball player. (The press has played with that a lot, changing the "ryu" to also be the character for dragon - but that's a different story.)
Hope this helps.

Kouryu in Japanese means "exchange," sen means "match". So if you put it together, you should figure out the meaning, I suppose.
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.
