No-Ball (Baseball) Museum

A baseball history museum located adjacent to the main entrance of the Botchan Stadium. Matsuyama’s haiku poet Shiki Masaoka liked baseball so much that he took the pen name “No-Ball” that sounds like Noboru, his given name, in Japanese phonetics. The No-Ball Museum got its name from Shiki, who is said to have brought the game of baseball to Ehime. It unveils the history of baseball in Matsuyama, Ehime in two parts: Amateur Baseball from the early days and present-day Professional Baseball. The museum has a variety of exhibits and digest videos of high school baseball games as well as exhibits from the past three professional baseball All-Star Games held in Matsuyama, the most for a local stadium.
