- Abstract
The article focuses on the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team, which won the 2006 Japan Series for the first time in 44 years. The team had to pay high fees to use the Tokyo Dome since corporate sponsors had turned their back on them. The Nippon Ham Fighters decided to relocate to Sapporo which has no professional baseball team. The owners of the team have developed a training program where they can refill their player ranks with new talent.
