1994 Japan Series Information & 1994 Japan Series Links at HealthHaven.com

Because this year's edition of the Japan Series took place during the Major League Baseball strike that scuttled the entire postseason, including the World Series, it received much more attention than normal in the United States. Most memorably, the cover of the October 31 issue of Sports Illustrated featured Lions pitcher Hisanobu Watanabe along with the tagline "The World's Series", in the Lions' 11-0 win in Game One.^[1]

TV: NTV (Game 1, 2, 6), TV Asahi (Game 3-5)
TV (United States): Prime/SportsChannel regional sports networks (one-week delay)
- US broadcasters: Ken Harrelson, Tom Paciorek, and Wayne Graczyk.
MVP: Hiromi Makihara (Yomiuri)

Two members of the winning Yomiuri Giants team -- Hideki Matsui (2009) and Dan Gladden (1987, 1991) -- also won a World Series.
