Minors:

Same link.

Same data: 1992 through 2000 playing for Orix, league JPPL, Level Fgn.

Let's look at a U.S. player:

Brett Gardner:

Minors:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=gardne001bre

Level shows: A-, A+, AA, AAA.

The bubble definition when the cursor hovers over Lev shows the same info for both players.  There is no reference for the value for Suzuki's Japan/Minors team: Fgn.  Does it simply mean foreign?

I stumbled onto this.
