I think Henry "Bozo" Kobayashi played with the Hanshin Tigers when they won the championship in 1947.

Correction:
I must have been tired from lack of sleep!
I meant Henry Tadashi "Bozo" Wakabayashi in 1944 and 1947 as Tigers' player/manager.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
