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.

I clicked on the roster for BlueWave and I see there are 2 names - Lee and Ishige. It is the only team on this site that has 2 names in the manager's slot.
What is the deal on that? Is Leon Lee the manager or is he sharing job with Ishige-san? Also, Leon Lee must be only the second American manager (Bobby Valentine being the first) to manage a Japanese team, yes?
The BlueWave are in the cellar, will Lee be back next season?
