You’ve probably already seen my promotion of this book from last year‘s edition. Well, despite the sudden, sad passing of Wayne Graczyk (compiler of the book for 40+ years), the annual guide continues to be published. And the 2018 edition looks great!

Complete with team schedules, players’ vitals, stadium information, last season’s standings, playoff results, individual leaders, all-time leaders, and import player profiles, this guide is a must-have for any Nippon Professional Baseball fan. Here’s a look at the Hanshin-only pages…

It’s available at this website for $16.95 + shipping. OR… you can win a copy from H-TEN! That’s right! These two copies are waiting to be shipped to two lucky fans! Here’s how…

1) The first one goes to someone who follows the original rules set out in Episode 76 of the podcast. Send me (by e-mail) a brief writing about how/when you became a Hanshin Tigers fan, who you like on the current team, and/or who your favorite all-time Tiger is. Try for 100-200 words. Deadline is Friday, April 20, 11:59pm JST

2) The second goes to someone who shares this website post on their social media, and tags H-TEN appropriately (Facebook tag on FB, Twitter tag on Twitter, Instagram tag on Instagram). You must also be a follower of H-TEN in that realm! (If you are not following us, there’s less chance we’ll notice your entry!) Deadline is Sunday, April 22, 11:59pm JST

You can enter both contests if you’d like. Winners will be chosen at random for both contests, but should the same entrant be selected for both, a re-drawing will take place for one of the guidebooks. By entering Contest 1, you are giving H-TEN permission to post your writing on this website. (Edits may be made for length, grammar, etc.)

Winners will be notified via social media or e-mail, and also announced on Episode 77 of the podcast. Spread the word, everyone! After all, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
