The Dragons haven’t worn the “D” hat that looks like the Dodger’s spring training hat since 2003-ish. Their current hats have an interlocking C & D

Hiroshima Toyo Carp Legend. I read a couple books about the SPBA and IIRC one of the issues the league had was that some players treated it like an Old Timers game while others (especially the St Petersburg Pelicans) took it seriously

Always liked him. His first baseball card was actually from an American set - the 2007 Upper Deck Team USA set had memorabilia and autograph inserts for the Japanese Collegiate National team

Every time you post something about Tokyo Stadium, I immediately think “But that ballpark’s been gone for 50 years!” The baseball stadium by that name was the home of the Daimai/Tokyo/Lotte Orions from 1962 to 1971.
