Japanese baseball??

[Keith7]

I was reading they just went on strike.. but thats not what this is about..

I was wondering why all the teams in Japan have English names??? does anybody know this??? maybe this is a dumb question but i've wondered it since i was little

i think they're just translated into english by our media

While we're on the topic of japanese baseball why do they put their first name on their jersey
