Hidehiro Kumazawa

Honestly, Hidehiro Kumazawa is exactly the kind of guy who flies completely under the radar and somehow that makes him more interesting to me. Born in 1966 in Toki City — a small ceramics town tucked into eastern Gifu — he's not the name you're pulling out at baseball trivia night, but that's sort of the point. went and played professional baseball anyway. I don't have a highlight reel to point to, but the story of someone from an unremarkable town carving out a career in pro sport through sheer stubbornness? That's the kind of underdog arc I'll always root for.
