To coordinate an effort, it would be nice if people posted which files they're translating. Some are much shorter than others. Some have a lot of repitition.
Eng-san, please report back when one is done so that I may cross it off the list.
Those of you interested in data on Japanese baseball, just wait until Eng-san's full database is released. It's quite a sight. And any help you all can give to the effort will be greatly appriciated.

It might help if you coordinated some of your material with the material on the links from this page: Stats at Baseball Guru.

I will look into the Coaches.
I started it, but there's quite a lot, so it could take some time. (Japanese computer has nifty function to turn Kanji into Romaji.)

A quick update and thanks to Tim for taking on Coaches.
Completed:
Nippon Series MVPs, Most Valuable Players, Rookie of the Year Votes, Batting, Pitching
Near Complete:
Farm Batting, Farm Pitching, Farm All-Star Game
In addition, I have completed the majority of Monthly Awards, All-Stars, and CL ASG Votes after the mid 1980s.

Another update:
Awards, CL ASG Votes, and All-Stars are completed.
Farm Batting and Farm Pitching are mostly done except for 2003-2004 Kanji players.
Apart from the continual translation of data, the rest of the database is coming along well. That being said, I would like to release a preview version in this coming week. This is in the hope that the release will spark some more interest in the database. Westbay-san, would you be willing to host the file? The zipped database (Access and MySQL) is about 5 MB.
Thanks and happy holidays.

Sounds like the perfect otoshi-dama (new year's gift - usually money, but this is worth more than any monetary value). I'd be honored to host the files.

Sounds great - I'm looking forward to seeing it. Is there any possibility of eventually including defensive data (games played at a position, assists, putouts, errors)?

Sorry I took so long. I finished up Coaches today. Should I send as an E-mail attachment?
Note on translation: Although there is a column for both last and first names, it appears that the names are surnames only, with occasional first kanji of personal names. Thus the first name column cannot be trusted even if there is an entry. The last names, too, were in some cases one of the possible readings of the Kanji. For example Takazawa/Takasawa, etc.

Eng-san has been working on a listing of uniform numbers (sebango), and has translated about 90% of the records, but still has about 1,700 names left. Most of them seem to be one-year players, career ni-gun players, or non-playing personal; so names are difficult. Can anyone lend a hand?
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.
