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.

My family of four and eight others (including two seven year olds and two five year olds)are visiting Tokyo and Kyoto during the period 3/29/02 to 4/10/02 and would very much like to attend a Japanese baseball game. We are aware it is the beginning of the season and tickets may be hard to come by and would like to know if there is anyway to buy in advance from the United States.
We will be in Tokyo 3/30, 31, 4/1 and 4/2 to Kyoto 4/3, 4/4 and 4/5 and back to Tokyo for the nights of 4/6 to 4/9.
We have no idea who is playing in what towns and even if we determine that (I am going to your "schedules" section next to try and figure it out), don't know how to buy tickets other than showing up at the stadium and hoping they are available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Arigato,
Adam Korbas
