I recommend Swallows or Yokohama when you are in Tokyo for the atmosphere and being outdoors. I dislike the Gomiuri Giants and they play in a dismal dome.
I don't recommend a day trip to Nagoya from Tokyo to see baseball. You probably will have a hard time catching the last shinkansen; just my guess. And it's going to cost you about $250 per person for the train ride. And the Dragons also have a sterile dome -- it's even more sterile than the Gomi-dome.

I used
this site to see schedules, stadium locations etc
Anyone know how far the Mazda Zoom Zoom stadium is from the Hiroshima Westin?
Tokyo seems to have five teams so I'll take whatever games I can get us into.
Another question, my son wants to see the Chunichi Dragons. Is that something that is doable via train in the same day from Tokyo?
