What kind of team is the Hiroshima Carp?
The Hiroshima Carp is a unique baseball team because it doesn’t have a parent company. Since it was founded, it has been supported by many people in Hiroshima.
For example, the Yomiuri Giants are owned by the Yomiuri Newspaper Group and use their resources to get star players.
On the other hand, the Hiroshima Carp doesn’t have a parent company. They focus on developing young players and getting support from the local community.
There’s also a difference in management.
The Giants are popular all over Japan and make money from broadcasting rights and ads. In contrast, the Carp runs with support from local companies and residents.
Because of this, the Carp has a strong connection with fans and is loved as a local team.
