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.

Remember the part at the end when the band suddenly and inexplicably become big in Japan and toured the country? I'd never noticed before, but at a Japanese gig, lead guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, is wearing a Sadaharu Oh Giants' jersey. Not bad considering the fact that Oh retired in 1980 and the movie was released in 1984.
I wonder if someone gave the movie makers some pointers about iconic Japanese players whose jerseys they might like Nigel to wear.
