Before the advent of the Pacific League in 1950, Japan Pro Baseball was divided into East and West teams for their all star games. This large photo was taken in the East dugout during a 1949 All Star Game. Seven players in this photo are identifiable. The six players in the bottom row are all Hall of Fame members. They are: (left to right) Hideo Fujimoto, Osamu Mihara (mgr.), Hiroshi Oshita, Tetsuharu Kawakami, Victor Starffin and Michio Nishizawa. Giants outfielder Kokuji Hirayama can be seen in the top row at left.

Size: 10 1/8" x 8 7/8"

Condition: Good due to minor creases and tears, mostly along the top border. However the image is clear and nearly free of defects.
