Thinking about going to Japan to watch baseball

[prestigecollectibles]

If you go to Japan and plan to travel around the country be sure to buy the Japan Rail Pass which allows unlimited travel on the JR Lines including most Shinkansen (bullet trains). The pass must be purchased online before entering Japan. I am going to Japan in November to look for vintage baseball collectibles.

Most of the great US tours to Japan were played at Meiji Jingu Stadium in Tokyo and Koshien Stadium in Osaka. Koshien also has a nice baseball museum.

The Hall of Fame and Museum is located at the Tokyo Dome. I have spent many hours in their library researching vintage sports publications.

I"m just researching a trip there next year. I came across this site that can help with tickets if you don't want to do it yourself.

I would like to go to Cuba on a baseball sabbatical. Sadly my wife has no interest in going to Cuba. Were I ever in Japan, hell yeah I'd go to a game.

I remember once driving though the hinterlands of Virginia on my way to a client meeting (FarmVille VA as I recall) where they had radio broadcasts of the local little league. I found myself listening despite the fact that I knew none of the players or very little about the town for that matter. That is when I knew I was probably over the edge as a baseball fan. Common little Jimmy Flora, you're due, dammit!
