My Take
Ikeyama Takahiro was the kind of hitter who swung like the bat owed him money. A shortstop who stood 183 cm and tried to reach the seats every time, he spent his entire Nippon Professional Baseball career with the Yakult Swallows, from 1984 to 2002. What I admire is not the home runs but the shrug after the strikeouts. Players that free from the fear of failure are rare anywhere in the world, and crowds could feel it even when he missed. Now he manages the same club he swung for, and I find that quietly satisfying: the wild young slugger from Amagasaki grew into the man responsible for calming everyone else down.
