Hara was touted as the golden boy successor to Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu Oh. He was the face of the Yomiuri Giants during his career as an active player (1981 to 1995). While not quite reaching the caliber of Nagashima and Oh, he still had a fine career, winning the 1981 Central League Rookie of the Year award and being named MVP in 1983. He also clubbed 382 homers during his 15 year career. He retired just in time to be replaced by the Giants' new Golden Boy, Hideki Matsui. The regular edition of this autographed photo was limited to 100 numbered copies. This rare example is an artist proof numbered AP2 at lower right and is inscribed "MVP 83". There were only five artist proofs made for this photograph.

Size: 10" x 12".
