The Pro Yakyu Report Vol. 1.23 - Inter-League Update
Channel: Michael Westbay
Date: 02/06/2013

The current situation in Inter-league play is looking very familiar.  The 2010 final standings had the 6 Pacific League teams in the top half, the 6 Central League teams taking up the bottom.  How have the two leagues done against each other since Inter-league started in 2005?  That's what I explore this week.
