I really only put those up to have a record of them after I throw my physical newspaper away, as my wife wants me to become a little more paperless with my hobby. If anyone else can get something out of them, that's a bonus.
With that in mind, I believe strongly in self study. Anyone motivated enough to figure out a few dozen characters (names of players takes a little more effort) can get at this wealth of information.
Fortunately, there's a great resource this year in English with very similar information. Borisov-san's Japanese Pro Yakyu site has boxscores in English. And they're arranged in much the same format. Compare a few of them and you should be able to figure out the meaning of a great many of the characters without so much as a dictionary.
How about giving it a shot? This could make a great self-learning project.

That's perfect, actually. I didn't know about Borisov-san's site until you mentioned it, and he preserves the format of the Japanese boxscores almost exactly. For those of you interested, this is a great way to learn to read players' names as well. This will help immensely following Yahoo! Japan's live updates!
Thanks again!

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.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if something like this doesn't exist, it might be a nice page to set up. By the looks of it, those are some detailed boxscores.
