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.

In MLB the record is 26 (including one tie) set back in 1916 by the New York Giants. Some may remember the excitement when the A's ran off 20 in a row 3 summers ago.
Having watched a few of the Hawks' games online during the streak, they are definitely becoming my favorite PL team (as I don't currently have one).
