Episode 108 - Baseball Talk: MLB or NPB

A This is KSU student podcast.  My name is Ryo and this is Ryohei. Recently, Ichiro is active in MLB games.  
B Sorry, of course, I know Ichiro, but I don't have much information about the MLB.
A Really? MLB games are powerful, so it is so fun.
B MLB and Nihon Professional Baseball league the same?
A There are many differences. First, there is a difference in allocation of foreign players.  
B NPB teams have a few foreign players.  
A Yes, first team foreign registration has been determined up to four people in NPB rules. In comparison, it has been determined up to 25% of the player in the MLB can be foreign. So, talented players can play an active role, regardless of their nationality.  
B Humm,  It is America's melting pot.  
A Also, MLB's baseball park has some characteristics.  
B In Japan, there is a typical ball park size.
A Japanese ball parks are usually symmetrical in shape. But American ball parks have individual forms. For example, some ball parks are built near the sea. If a player hits a homerun, the ball falls in the sea.  
 Similarly some ball parks grow grass in front of the outfield fence. So players lose sight of ball sometimes.
B It seems like an amusement park.
A Baseball games aren't broadcasted a lot in Japan. I recommend that you see MLB game on TV

That's all for today.  Thanks for listening.
