Yeah, I've got an idea. Why don't you spend some time watching the no. 1 spectator sport in the U.S. - NFL football. Football has surplanted baseball in the U.S. as the national pastime. I can remember a time in the late 1970s and all through the '80s when all people talked about was MLB in the U.S. But now it's that way with the NFL.
If you are that desparate for baseball, there's also the Masters League that plays in the winter. It's your chance to see NPB stars from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s.

Kenny, football after baseball is a bit like fast food after haute cuisine. Both come under the heading "sport," but that is where the comparison ends. Also, of course, while MLB teams play 81 home games, NFL teams only play 8, so comparing attendances is hardly comparing like with like. MLB total attendance of 75,000,000 in 2005 was an all time record, so someone is still interested.

- Anybody got any clever ideas as how to waste time till next season?
Baseball simulations! If you can't follow baseball on TV, in the newspaper, and in the stands, you can still replay past seasons.

The sports papers usually provide some light comedy. Starved of real baseball news to report, they come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful trade/retirement/negotiation rumours.

You can follow the Caribbean Baseball Federation action which will culminate with the Caribbean Series the first week of February. Many current NPB Latino players play for either the Dominican, Mexican Pacific, Puerto Rican, or Venezuelan Leagues.

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.

Anybody got any clever ideas as how to waste time till next season? Any random leagues going? Everyone on here should get together to play a couple games one weekend just to kill time. Preferably down south of Fukuoka because the weather, as it won't be good, will be better there. Any suggestions?
