Well, the Yomiuri Giants.

And the Japan Series.

Screw Yomuri.

When I first arrived in Japan (’96) it took me about 1 weeks in country to realize even though they are the Giants they are NOT to be cheered for.

Go Baystars!

Yeah

I’m all about the Fighters.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

They also fight misconceptions about their name. Rather unsuccessfully.

The Kitakyushu Bacon? The Morioka Pork Chops? The Sendai Salami? The Hamamatsu Prosciutto?

They fight for their corporate philosphy
Under the basic theme of "Joy of Eating," our company creates a culture that marks an epoch and contributes to society.

Supposedly, the Giants are the NY Yankees of Japan.

"All I know is right now, you comeback and do you dwell on that? I think you're man enough to take it, you're man enough to chew on it, to spit it out and you learn from it. ... I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings

Having virtually no stake at all in NPB

Why shouldn’t I root for a team that 1) shares the name of my favorite MLB squad, and B) Wins like the Yankees on (more) steroids?

I mean, my second favorite baseball team is the Pirates, and the only other pro sports team I give a damn about is the Warriors. I’m freaking dying here.
