Saitama Seibu Lions
The Saitama Seibu Lions are a baseball team in the Pacific League of Japan based north of Tokyo in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. The team is run by Seibu Railway. Known to stay alive and well known to the Saitama Seibu Lions team, they went through a lot of financial difficulties.
Their mascot is the image of a small lion with the desire to win many achievements for the Seibu Lions. The result brought home 21 regional pennants and 13 national championships. In 2004, former Seibu Lions player Kazuo Matsui became the first Japanese quarterback to play in a Major League Baseball game.
The Saitama Seibu Lions have a small fanbase compared to their success. Their stadium has now added a dome to make it weatherproof. This arch does not cover the viewing space, but it is easy to see the outside world.
