My time zone is GMT+3, so MLB games usually don't start until 3am. The Japanese, however, usually have first pitch around 1 in the afternoon for me, so I can catch a stream online while I eat lunch. A lot more bunting and everyone uses a 6 man rotation (with games Tuesday thru Sunday, always rest on Monday) but the atmosphere at games looks like a ton of fun and the fans get really into it. I follow/root for the Hanshin Tigers(of the Central League)mostly, but am looking to keep up with a team in the Pacific League this year as well. Opening day is on the 30th, look into it and pick you a team!
