One League Idea Dead?
Reply to this topic
Meanwhile, here's an interesting piece from today's Nikkan Sports:
The Pacific League reaches a new record in attendance 36 games earlier than last year, which was a new record.
The top five attendance records for the Pacific League are:
Year G Total Att. Avg.
1 2004 384 10,201,000 26,600
2 2003 420 10,144,000 24,200
3 2001 420 10,124,000 24,100
4 1997 405 10,012,500 24,700
5 2002 420 9,709,000 23,100
So, with attendance raising every year, how is it that the owners are squandering any profits due to that rise? It makes one wonder about their competence.
I think this data is meaningless.
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.
