Central League

Japanese: セントラル・リーグ
Central League
Along with the Pacific League, it is one of the professional baseball leagues in Japan. Its official name is the Central Baseball League. It is abbreviated as the Central League. Until 1949, the Japan Baseball Association, which had one league and eight teams, split up due to disagreements over the issue of new teams joining. In 1950, the Central League started with eight teams, adding new teams Hiroshima Carp, Nishinippon Pirates, Taiyo Whales, and JNR Swallows to the four teams Yomiuri Giants, Shochiku Robins, Chunichi Dragons, and Hanshin Tigers. Shochiku won the first official game, playing against the Pacific League's champion Mainichi Orions in the Japan Series that began that year, losing 2-4.
