The Pro Yakyu Report 1.53 - Numbers
Discussion in the Bayside West: Yokohama forum
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.

Have you ever seen the team number change log and said to yourself, “Trading in 16 for 67? His career is just about done”? Some jersey Numbers are synonymous with "staff ace.” One would think that the wearers of such numbers would also have the highest salaries. But not everything is as it seems.
For this 53rd report of 2013, I explore some of the relationships between jersey numbers, salaries, and years played.
