During the early to mid 1920s, Amachi (1903-1976), was a star catcher at Meiji U. In 1923 he helped propel Meiji to it's first ever Big Six University League championship. After graduation, Amachi became a Big Six League University umpire. Eventually, he became a Japan Pro Baseball manager, leading the Chunichi Dragons to their first Japan Series championship (1954). The Dragons never won another until 2007!

This is the first single signed Shunichi Amachi item that we have ever had the opportunity to offer to the public. Amachi signed his name in English, along with "Dragons 1950".
