The original English/Japanese slang dictionary based on the jeering that one would hear at the Koshien Stadium, the home of the Hanshin Tigers.

The language used in this book is very strong, and is highly advised to keep out of the reach of children under the age of 16.

All the author can say is... 'it was a dirty job that I guess someone had to do.. But why me?' *Content is mostly in Japanese*

To every ones surprise, this book ended up on the best sellers list in Japan for 3 weeks.... Sigh.

Now here is a book that the author recommends for baseball fans of all ages.

Let's just say you are a Japanese sports fan, and want to know how to say "Tokudai Ho-mu-ran", just look it up in this book, and you will find the perfect translation for it. Oh, you want to know what "Tokudai Ho-mu-ran" is? The answer is simple, a 'moon shot'.

This is a Japanese to English book, and would require Japanese reading skills to enjoy.

The ultimate 'sports idioms' for Japanese studying English.

This book goes through over 200 commonly used "American" sports idioms. The author did look into some idioms that are used in Australia and England, but he hit a snag, and realized that he had to draw the line somewhere, lower his sights, and fish or cut bait.

So, he sidelined that idea and went for American idioms so he could keep the upper hand.

This is a Japanese to English book, and would require Japanese reading skills to enjoy.

This is the book that tells you about almost everything you ever wanted to know about the Hanshin Tigers (a Japanese pro baseball team). Including the history, major leaguers who played for the team, how to cheer, how to jeer, and how to enjoy the games, even if they spent the past 6 years out of 10 in the dungeon.

Content is fully in Japanese, and would require a high level of Japanese reading skills to enjoy.

Now here is the book you have all been waiting for. A book where you don't need Japanese reading skills. Actually you don't need any reading skills. This table top photography book puts a spotlight on Japanese fanatical baseball fans cheering on the Hanshin Tigers.

A definite recommendation for all baseball fans. This book will take you right to the ball park.
