Stats...
Hi Guys at JapaneseBaseball.com,

For someone who has recently gotten into Japanese Baseball, your site is really good.

I was wondering though, would you be able to list the abreviations used in your stats tables with explanations of what they mean, because I'm not sure of some of them. Also, is there any particular reason (copyright etc.) why there aren't photos to go with the player profiles? Not a complaint, mind you, just a query.

Go Giants!

Ed.

I would like to bring them all in line with this page [Wikipedia] one of these days.

And, yes, the reason that there aren't any photos is due to copyright concerns. But Deanna has graciously given me permission to use her photos, so it's just a matter of finding the time to trim them down and enter them.

Hope this helps.
