My Take
What caught my eye first was the double-sport thing — baseball and American football, not exactly the obvious combo, and the order is the surprising part. Ishikawa spent sixteen seasons as a Yokohama infielder, then, at 34, switched to wide receiver for the Nojima Sagamihara Rise. That kind of late leap into a brand-new sport takes a certain stubbornness I genuinely respect, and it's a story I find oddly compelling.
