mightyflynn:tabe-mylife:Eastern League (minor leagues of Japanese professional baseball)Toda, Saitama [On the] bank of the “Arakawa” river.Oh my God, this. In Oofuri, one of the main characters (Tajima) played for a regional summer league team called the Arakawa Sea Breams. Also, Japan’s minor leagues are a bit odd in that each Major League team only has one MiLB affiliate, which many people, including Bobby Valentine, think stalls the development of players and weakens the league somewhat as a whole. As a consequence of this, there are frequently players running around on the ni-gun (second string) team with numbers well over 100. -- source link
