Every Nippon Pro Baseball Stadium: Pacific League

A bit late, but keeping the sports theme, shifting to baseball! #twosecondstreet #npb

My wife made a vow at the start of this year: To visit every Nippon Pro Baseball (NPB) stadium across Japan. We saved our money, made our travel plans, and set out on this journey together. First up, let’s take a look at the stadiums in the Pacific League. (more…)

so, when i have to kill time at work, i occasionally find myself looking up baseball teams. not actually watching baseball or doing particularly deep research, but i'll chase curiosities about japanese baseball and minor american leagues.

and you want to know what's currently happening with the minor league (hence milb)?

they've expanded from 120 teams to 121

the newest team?

the malmö oat milkers!

which is... a very brave thing to name your team.

and i'm sure you're wondering where malmö is. certainly odd for a us town to feature a diaeresis, i'll bet that town has an interesting history!

oh, it's named for a swedish city. so... where are the oat milkers actually based out of?

wait, can you elaborate on what this means?

oh. the oat milkers don't actually exist in a sort of 'everyone are the oat milkers' type of way.

so oatly, an oat milk company, has paid off the major leagues to create a virtual minor league baseball team. which is insane, but baseball teams are actually owned by major corporations in the background so at least there's a sort of... honesty* to this advertising stunt?

but also zero dollars from this deal goes to the actual minor league teams themselves, despite not being allowed to opt out of playing a game as and against the oat milkers, so it's all corrupt.

also i can't find any oat milkers merch online, so what's even the point if i can't get a baseball cap and/or jersey that says 'oat milkers'!?

-

* the japanese leagues (the npb) notably integrate the parent companies into the names, which is how you get the yomiuri giants and the nippon-ham fighters

Nippon-ham Fighters collab!! (https://twitter.com/KamuyCentral/status/1674634396404715520)

I know collabs are not really canon but you guys have no idea how often I think about Koito LOVING to dance despite not dancing even once in the story. Now that it's 90% canon I should draw Koito dancing R&B for real.
