Do you know the average Japanese League salary in 2002 (or 2001, if 2002 is not available)?

Jim Albright's Response

Mike,

Michael Westbay of Japanesebaseball.com may be able to provide the answer directly if you ask him. If you want to figure it yourself, he has posted salary info on all 2002 players at http://japanesebaseball.com/players/index.jsp though this data is presented player by player. He has posted files on the jball group (remember, it *is* free, except for the data you must give Yahoo to sign up) in files at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/j-ball/files/salaries2001.txt and for 1996-2000 at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/j-ball/files/salaries.txt
