This page says that "Baseball around the world" follows certain rules, but it only seems to discuss North American baseball. I'm curious as to what rules are used in Japan. I know, for example, that in Japan they always have designated hitters (like in the AL of american MLB), and that they only play a fixed number of extra innings (6, I think, though I may be wrong). I'm not that familiar with Japanese baseball rules, but perhaps someone could add this information, or at least revise this article to point out that there are other sets of baseball rules in use around the world.\ GJL 02:26, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

How's that? Feel free to edit further. I think the two areas you mentioned are the only significant differences in Japanese baseball. --Locarno 14:01, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
