My Take
Hideyuki Awano, born in 1964 in Hodogaya, Yokohama, came through Asia University and pitched in Nippon Professional Baseball for the Kintetsu Buffaloes, the Yomiuri Giants, and the Yokohama BayStars. Three uniforms is the whole story in miniature. A pitcher only changes clubs that many times if he refuses to stop, and refusing to stop is harder than it sounds once the arm no longer does what it did at twenty-five. The early Kintetsu years are what people remember him for, but I am more drawn to the later stretch, when a player has to rebuild himself as something other than the phenomenon he used to be. That transition breaks a lot of careers. He now works as a baseball commentator, still visibly connected to the game, which suggests baseball was never just a job he passed through. I would rather remember a pitcher for that persistence than for any single dominant season.
