For the first time ever, we are offering a complete set of single signed baseballs of all Japan Pro Baseball players who amassed at least 300 wins in their careers, with the exception of the pitcher in sixth place all time (Victor Starffin--303 wins). Here's the list:

1 Masaichi Kaneda 400 1950–1969
2 Tetsuya Yoneda 350 1956–1977

The balls are pristine and the signatures are all strong. Bessho signed in light blue ballpoint pen. All others signed in black marker. All of these pitchers are members of the Japan Baseball Hall of Fame. Suzuki has signed an Official Japan Pro Baseballl. The others have signed regular baseballs. Koyama has added the inscriptions, "320 wins" and "Meikyukai" (Golden Players Club). Kaneda added his uniform number. Yoneda added "350 wins". Suzuki also added a Japanese language inscription.
