Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Japanese baseball task force

Welcome to the Japanese baseball task force of the Baseball WikiProject. We are supported by WikiProject Japan.

This task force was created because of the popularity of the sport in Japan, without the sufficient backing of content in Wikipedia. Japanese baseball articles currently are either very short, or not much content at all.

Join
To join this task force, simply add your name to the WikiProject Baseball/Participant List and indicate you are interested in the Japanese baseball task force.

 * Write descriptions for all games in all articles
 * Create articles for the Pacific League's other playoff series in years past.
