“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.

“Sports was a way of life and growing up in beautiful southwest New Mexico it could be watched or better yet, be played all-year-round.
Having lived in Japan since 2000 it was sometimes difficult to keep up to say the least. Although, sports was a way for me to connect back to my childhood and...”Read full review »

“Living outside Japan while having an interest in NPB can be quite challenging, especially in a country that doesn’t even spare a glance at baseball. Love that guys like you exist to spread Japanese baseball and clear up misconceptions about NPB and MLB. Keep up the good work!”

“I like that they cover Japanese baseball for the English speaking fan, but I am not sure they even like each other. Jim just barely seems to tolerate John. The interviews are good, and they cover the whole the league.”

“I live in New York. It’s rare that I get to stay up late enough to watch a full NPB game. This podcast pretty much keeps me abreast of everything that’s going on around the league. The hosts are knowledgable, pleasant, and obviously love the game of baseball. As the only English language NPB...”Read full review »
