50th Anniv. of Nippon Professional Baseball Issued on October 22, 1999 (Heisei 11)
In 1949 (Showa 24), the Japanese Baseball League confronted the issue of expanding the number of baseball teams and split into the Central League and the Pacific League. As a result, the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) was born. The stamp is issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of both Sepa leagues, and the "mascot of each team" is designed.
