Informative and Entertaining

John and Jim help us new fans understand the NPB with a good bit of humorous banter mixed in. An enjoyable look at Japanese baseball that’s hard to find here in the U.S.

Recently found and LOVE the podcast. Really appreciate their deep knowledge and long history with NPB. Would love them to give equal time to all the clubs not the majority to the bay stars but their love is evident!! Incomparable content tho. Allowing me to get back into japanese baseball from NYC
