Japan Baseball Media Guide in English 2018 will be the last

JapanBall.com’s Bob Bavasi has reported the following news:

Wayne Graczyk, editor of the Japan Baseball Media Guide in English, passed away on April 19, 2017.

At the time of Wayne’s passing, he had finished the 2017 edition of his guide.

His family continued on his good work and edited the 2018 edition.

The Graczyk family recently let us know that they could no longer keep the book going. This is understandable given the huge time commitment in putting together the book when weighed against its income. They did a terrific job pulling off the 2018 edition. We are certain that Wayne would have been very proud of their work.

The 2018 edition, now the Final Edition, will remain online for sale for a while longer at:

Proceeds go to the Graczyk Family.
