Nomo the owner
I heard Nomo announced his team today and it's called "Team Nomo" which will began play this season in a semi-pro league in Japan. The team is located in his hometown of Osaka. My question would be, does he still own the Elmira Pioneers in the Independent League with Irabu and Mac Suzuki?

Hello everyone. Nice to meet you.
I love the Hansin Tigers. I'm studying English because I can not and want to speak English well.
Irabu [Hanshin official profile in Japanese] is playing for the Hansin Tigers in the Central League.
Mac [Orix official profile in Japanese] is playing for the Orix BlueWave in the Pacific League.
The answer to your question is "no." "Nomo Baseball Club," Hanshin Tigers, and Orix BlueWave are in another league.

No. My question is, does Nomo, Irabu, and Mac Suzuki still own the Pioneer team in the Independent League?

Hi Frank,
The answer is yes. There had been some concern about the Pio's around these parts (I'm in PA about 45 miles from Elmira) because, until this past week, the ownership had not contacted the city about the upcoming season. To date, they still have not done any promotions, season ticket sales, or even player signings! They will play this season at Dunn Field in Elmira, but are in the final year of a 5-year deal, so the future is much in doubt.
