My Take
Honestly, the name "Saburo" sounds like it belongs to some old-school comedian, so it always catches me off guard that this guy is the real deal on a baseball diamond. Coming out of Okayama and going through PL Gakuen, that legendary baseball factory, tells you everything about where his foundation was forged. I get the sense he was never the flashiest star, more the dependable big-brother type who quietly does the dirty work when the game's on the line and keeps the whole clubhouse steady. And what really gets me is that after grinding it out as a player, he turned around and went into coaching and managing, trying to hand the next generation the same view he earned. That kind of unglamorous, deeply loyal baseball lifer is exactly the sort of guy I root for hardest.
