@Cardinals1942@CardPurchaser Other than Sadaharu Oh, look for Masanori Murakami, Vernon Law, Felix Millan, Charlie Manuel, Don Blasingame and other former major leaguers. Also Wally Yonamine. There are 90 cards in the set.
In a Japanese high school game, down one run in the bottom of the 7th inning, this batter gets hit. He apologies for not getting out of the way, and the pitch is ruled a ball. On the next pitch, he hits a game tying home run.
@cardgrader@EbbetsVintage Yes, I remember this great card pictured in a Beckett article of yours, which actually first sparked my interest in Starffin.
Every hair? Numbered.
Every tear? Counted.
Every day? Ordained.
Every saint? Chosen.
Every history? Written.
Every decree? Unchallenged.
Every circumstance? Subjected.
Every ruler? Appointed.

Baseball Quote of the Day:
Royals side-arm closer Dan Quisenberry was asked by a reporter in 1980 about what happens if his sinker doesn't sink.
"The batter still hits a grounder," responded Quisenberry. "But in that case the first bounce is 360 feet away."
