That would be the Chunichi Dragons who's home is at Nagoya Dome.
And to answer your next question, The Yakyu Shop is an English language site that has jerseys and other Chunichi goods, and they ship outside of Japan. If the prices look high, blame the weak dollar.

Yeah, it would be the Chunichi Dragons.
However, I would actually vaguely recommend against getting a jersey now, unless you really want to spend all of that money on it. Once he gets here, he can get a replica jersey for somewhere in the 3,500-7,000 yen range, plus he can decide then on a player/number if he wants it on the uniform (and the rosters/numbers might change by next year). On the other hand, a Chunichi hat might be a better present, less pricey, and more useful in the long run.
Also, there's always the off chance he'll end up being a bigger fan of some other team anyway.

The Dragons also still have an outside chance of being Japan Series champs this year, so you might want to hold off and see if some championship-winning goods become available. Or you can always buy him Hanshin Tigers (the "Osaka" team) goods and get him off on the right foot in Japan!
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.

I'm from the States, and my brother in-law is moving to Japan for work in August of 2008. He's a big baseball fan, and I imagine he will enjoy going to some games while he is there for the next few years. He will be living in Nisshin, the closest city being Nagoya. Any idea on what his "home" team would be? I'd love to try to get him a jersey for X'mas this year, before he heads over seas.
Thanks!
