Shigeru Kobayashi passes away
0 replies.
A famous ex-Tigers pitcher died over the weekend of heart failure.This was Shigeru Kobayashi who started his career with the Giants but was traded in 1978 for Egawa. Kobayashi was Giants ace and immediately set about being Tigers ace winning a Sawamura award in his first season with the team. He also beat Giants eight times pitching six complete games (pitchers worked hard in those days). For those interested in Kobayashi he is featured on Volume 3 (Tigers v Giants) and Volume 20 (Kobayashi and Emoto) of the Kodensha Hanshin Tigers series. Plenty of action shots and interviews with an interesting player. He will be sadly missed.
