Discussion in the Pro Yakyu News forum
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 am having one of those "if my head weren't attached" kind of weeks. A couple of days ago in Yokohama I forgot to bring my uniform to the field with me. In Japan your hotel room is more your locker than your actual locker on the road at the stadium. Each day your laundry from the day before is available at lunch. You grab it and bring it back to your room. I put on my batting practice clothes like I do everyday and then put my game clothes (uniform, socks, jock, etc.) in a nice neat pile on the chair in my room. I missed the next critical step which was to then take the nice neat pile of game clothes and put them in my equipment bag. I was not aware of my mistake until I reached Yokohama Stadium. I summoned Monna San to handle the problem for me. In the end I had to pay for an employee from the hotel to take a taxi round trip from the hotel to the stadium. That cost me ¥10,000. Nice way to start the road trip.
