 Latham's
1998 Guide to Japanese Baseball: The Yakult Swallows Home
Plate is the
only web site in English introducing Tokyo's most
exciting professional baseball team, the Yakult Swallows.Watching Japanese baseball is
seldom easy. Stadiums can be difficult to find,
scoreboards are written in Japanese, players are
unfamiliar, and little information is available in
English. American spectators often ask, "Who are we
cheering for?"
Here
you'll find an answer: the Swallows.
Becoming
familiar with all twelve teams and their players can be
overwhelming. That's why this web site focuses on one
team, introducing you to Swallows players, coaches, team
records and history. You'll find out how to get to their
home stadium, buy tickets, read the scoreboard, and cheer
with the locals.
You can
also read about the other eleven teams and their best
players. Maps to every ballpark make it easy for you to
see a game anywhere in Japan. An introduction to basic
Japanese will help you read the scoreboard at any park.
Since six pro baseball teams play in and around Japan's
capital city, there's even a section dedicated to
surviving in Tokyo.
