Itaru Ninomiya

Honestly, there's something about a guy who grew up in Hiroshima Prefecture and dedicated his life to baseball that just gets me — that region has this deep, almost mythic connection to the sport, and Itaru Ninomiya, born in 1953, would have come up through an era where the game was gritty and unglamorous in the best possible way. He's a Scorpio born in the Year of the Snake, which in my completely unscientific view lines up with exactly the kind of stubborn, quietly fierce competitor you'd want in a dugout. I don't have a highlight reel to point to, but sometimes that's the story — a guy who just showed up, did the work, and never made it about the noise. I have genuine respect for that breed of athlete. Old-school Hiroshima baseball energy, and I'm here for it.
