In 1958, the Unions merged with the Mainichi Orions (founded in 1950) to form the Daimai Orions. This enabled the Pacific League to shrink from the ungainly seven-team arrangement caused by the 1957 merger to a more manageable six teams. The Orions, after a number of relocations and name changes, are now known as the Chiba Lotte Marines.
