Description

Japan has a fitting venue to honor baseball, its most popular spectator sport. The first game was played in 1873 on the former Tokyo University grounds. Although by 1936 there were seven professional teams organized, it was not until 1950 that the Pacific League and Central League system started and baseball "mania" began to take hold. Museum rooms display baseballs replete with autographs by Sadaharu Oh, Masaichi "Emperor" Kaneda and Sachio Kinugasa. In a separate room the plaques of members are on view. Facilities include a library, video terminals (including a batting clinic show) and various historical databases.
