Hanshin Tigers Signed Baseball

Hanshin Tigers Signed Baseball
My 12 year old son and I collect signed baseballs and we got our first signed Japanese baseball. It was signed by Atsushi Jagi #54, Naoya Saito #53, and H. Hattori #49 of the Hanshin Tigers. I would like to do some research on these players. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
