Japanese Baseball Culture?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Japanese Baseball Culture?
I was wondering if there were any significant cultural habits that stick out in Japanese baseball. Also, any major cultural differences in comparision to American baseball would be great as well.

Well you might start by reading "You Gotta Have Wa" by Robert Whiting. That's always a good starting point.
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.
