Japanese Major League Players

I believe a lot of Japanese baseball fans are all excited. The season for Major League is around the corner. Several top Japanese pros have joined the Major League this season. Everyday we watch TV to check how they are doing over there. We expect them to show a good performance and let all the baseball fans in the world know how wonderful the Japanese "yakyu" is.

We love to see the Japnese pros playing among the Major Leagures. Then, are you interested in who uses what brand?
