I find this an interesting fact: In the 1990s, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows had spring training in Yuma, Arizona, USA, where they used to have the San Diego Padres train there and a Colombian Baseball team also trained in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico. There's a minor baseball league in Yuma with 6 teams named for countries: USA, Canada, Colombia, Japan, Mexico and Philippines. The Tokyo Yakult Swallows contributed to the local baseball industry as much the San Diego Padres did. 12.218.47.123 (talk) 20:59, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

The team is written about in Haruki Murakami's short story "The Yakult Swallows Poetry Collection", which was published in his short story collection "First Person Singular" Isobelline (talk) 22:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
