日本職業棒球聯盟之發展

台灣的棒球運動與日本淵源頗深，本研究目的是要瞭解日本的職棒聯盟發展，因此以文獻分析法，蒐集有關資料加以分析，所得結果，得知日本的棒球元年是1895年，職棒元年是1936年，僅次於美國的1875，是亞洲第一。日本職棒學習美國，從1949年的一個聯盟8支球隊，發展至兩個聯盟，共15支球隊，現今再調整為兩聯盟各6支，共12支球隊，共存互相競爭，為刺激拉近兩聯盟的實力，每年兩聯盟的冠軍隊伍，舉行對抗賽，爭取日本大賽總冠軍，12支隊伍中，有11支隊伍曾獲得日本大賽總冠軍，其中中央聯盟的巨人隊22次最多，太平洋的西武隊13次次之；中央聯盟的隊伍共獲35次，太平洋聯盟的隊伍共獲28次，顯然兩聯盟差距不大，互相較勁，相爭相榮，值得中華職棒省思及學習。
