2004 Nippon Professional Baseball realignment

 * ... that the only player strike in Japanese professional baseball history occurred during the 2004 Nippon Professional Baseball realignment and lasted for only two days? Source: "Japan’s professional players staged the first strike in the 70-year history of Japanese baseball last weekend when 12 games were wiped out."
 * Comment: It's a pretty giant article. I've been working on it for years. I figure the player strike is probably the most interesting part of the article though.

 * Symbol question.svg Date and length fine. However the hook claim isn't sourced inline directly and the source used further along for the claim in the article body only details the events at the time, it doesn't clarify that this hasn't happened since then which a later source would. QPQ is not needed as nominator only has 1 credit. No close paraphrasing, no pictures used. If the sourcing can be fixed, then I can pass it.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!

 * Thanks for taking the time to check this out. I was worried someone would say that. How about this source? "The contraction was only temporary, as the NPB added a new team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, after a 2-day strike by players, the first and only strike in NPB’s history." -- T orsodo g Talk 14:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
