The NPB has two leagues, the Central and Pacific Leagues. The Central League had a 146 game season and the Pacific League has a 136 game season last year.
The NPB has only two minor leagues, the Western and Eastern Leagues. All of the teams are named after their parent clubs, with the exceptions of the Kobe Surpass (Orix's ni-gun team) and the Invoice Lions (Seibu's ni-gun team, and Shonan SeaRex (Yokohama's ni-gun team).

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.
