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.

We'll be visiting Tokyo from September 23-26 and would like to see a game. Looks like the 23rd is actually the last day of the regular season with a Giants-BayStars game in the Tokyo Dome at 14:00.
Have three questions:
1) Is there any way for a non-Japanese understanding person to buy tickets online? Otherwise, maybe try my luck on the Yomuiri site.
2) Not sure if we'll be in town early enough to catch that afternoon game. If not, looks like the Giants are tied for first place and am wondering if there are likely to be playoff games there that weekend?
3) Would there be any other games to consider in the Tokyo area besides the Tokyo Dome / Giants?
Thanks!
