This roughly U.S. baseball sized card which depicts
the great Japan Hall of Famer Hideo Fujimoto was unknown until just a few
months ago. It is part of a set produced
by the Marutsu Co. The company logo is
displayed on the card between Fujimoto’s ankles. Each card in the set has the player’s team
flag prominently displayed on the front.
Pitcher Hideo Fujimoto is Japan’s leader in lifetime
winning percentage (.697) and ERA (1.90).
He is also the single season leader in shutouts (19) and ERA
(0.73!). The Korean born righthander has
always flown a bit under the radar when any discussion of the all time greatest
Japan Pro Baseball pitchers occurs.
However, his claim to be the best ever is strong.
