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 an Australian who has a deep interest in baseball whether it is Australian, North American, or the Japanese Leagues, and I was wondering if someone might be able to help me.
For a long time I used to work for a company here in Australia which was owned by Nippon Ham, one of our bosses who knew I had a love of baseball gave me a calender of the Nippon Ham Fighters Baseball Club and since then I've followed them with great interest, although not as much as I would have liked.
Okay, here's my problem. I would like to buy some merchandise from the club, things like a replica player's cap, shirts and/or a replica jersey (either home, away, or practice) and unfortunately neither I or my computer can speak, read, or understand Japanese and the website is only written in Japanese.
I was wondering if someone could please email at my address if they knew of how I could get sizes, prices, and descriptions of the various items on the website so that I might be able to purchase something.
My email address is ianse@optusnet.com.au
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Thanks for your time
