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.

The 1980's game (I've only seen a very few complete games from the mid-/early 1980s or earlier) was so different from the game I began watching here in '92, with a weird, amaturish feel to the fan energy, very many skinny, small players, and an endless wait (up to 90 seconds) between pitches. Cheeses! I wish I'd taped it for study!
Kansai 36 sometimes replays old, famous Tigers' games, but mostly from the early '90s, if you're interested and lucky enough to notice them being broadcast.
