Japanese Baseball...More Fun Per Yen

"Why does Japanese baseball seem more entertaining than Major League Baseball?

Drose asked and commented:

This is my opinion, but Japanese (Nippon) baseball appears to be very entertaining from a player's and fan's point of view. I cannot understand a word they are saying, but they make baseball very fun to watch. Major League baseball players are generally better than their Nippon counterparts, but I still find a Japanese game to be more entertaining from a spectator point of view."

my response:

Might it be they tend to NOT play for the 3 run homerun? They generally play 'fabrication' ball by manufacturing runs. You'll see bunt and run, run and bunt, hit and run, run and hit, double steals, etc. No wonder Bobby Valentine did so well with his managing style over there. The closest MLB team that comes to mind that played more to that style would have been the 1980 Houston Astros.
