Baseball Guru.com Sister Site to Give NPB Fans Even More Info
Well, it's finally here! Japan Baseball Daily has stats and biographical material for every retired position player (pitching to come later this year) as well as a historical section by date and more will be continually added as time allows. Of course, you will also get daily news, links to related articles, and,if you miss a day or two, a free archive so that you can view past reports.
In addition, each of those reports will come with complete box scores if you want to follow particular players.
Plus, there are over 1000 links to Japanese and other baseball-related sites! You can't find anything like it in english on the web!
As always, reader questions and comments are welcome. Tell your friends!

Great site!! Tons of information for pro yakyu fans, and with all the links, one can spend a lot of time just browsing.
I did notice one thing though. Once a link has be clicked (everywhere in the webiste), the color turns from white to yellow. Since the background is red, the links become very hard to read. It's a minor thing though.

I love the site, and I love all the information you have posted under one website. I will refer that website to anyone overseas who asks me questions about Japanese baseball.
But....the only thing I could do without, is those colors.....what made you choose red and yellow? Switching from this site to Japan Baseball Daily kind of hurts the eyes.

Great stuff!
Just one problem.
Can you make it not so hard too find the schedules of teams.
One site only has up till March.
Have schedules of teams I hope to see when in Osaka in May.
Had to use translation button.

It is everything you promised and more and makes following Benny possible after months of searching.
Thank you.

Wow! This is amazing - combined with the fine stats for current players from Michael Westbay we now have offensive stats for everyone in NPB history. Do you plan on adding fielding stats later or are they not available? Will baseballguru still post your daily reports also or will they just be on the new site? I'm looking forward to seeing the box scores! Great job, Mr. Garland!
