My Take
I have to be honest here: the record we hold on Shin'ya Okamoto is thin. Born October 21, 1974 in Kyoto Prefecture, 183 cm tall, a professional baseball player in Japan. That is close to the whole file, and I would rather say so than pad it with invention. Still, the sparseness itself is worth a comment. Japanese professional baseball has always had a large population of players whose careers were substantial without ever being loud, and the internet tends to reward the loud ones. A tall pitcher who lasted at the top level put in an enormous number of hours that never turned into anecdotes. Baseball is a sport of records, so somewhere those innings are all written down in numbers even when nobody wrote the stories around them. This is a page I would like to come back to and fill in properly once better-sourced details are in hand.
