Who's On First? Kei Igawa!
I was reading the Japanese Wikipedia entry for Kei Igawa and it stated that he played one game at first base for Hanshin. Did anyone see this? If so, what was the situation that called for it?

It didn't sink in that you said you read the Japanese Wikipedia entry. I checked out the English one, and apparently, he was the first base coach for a game for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 29.

Way to be a smart a**. Unlike the rest of the world, Japanese people don't abuse Wikipedia with every opportunity presented to them. The yakyu entries are especially detailed and maintained in a very professional manner.
I'm still waiting for a legitimate reply. My guess is that he was put at first on an off day in order to scout the opposing starter before being subbed out.

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.
