the best center fielder in Central League history. Yamamoto was the leader of the Carp "Red Helmet" dynasty. He won 10 consecutive Golden Gloves and hit an astounding 14
homers in All Star games. Yamamoto has signed this shikishi (traditional Japanese signing board) with a black marker, and has included "Carp" and his uniform number (8).

Condition: The shikishi is Ex to Ex/Mt due to corner touches. The signature grades 10 of 10.
