My Take
People remember the showmanship - the entrances, the BIGBOSS nickname - and forget he was a genuinely excellent outfielder with a cannon of an arm. Shinjo was the first Japanese-born player to appear in a World Series, and in 2006, the season he announced his retirement, his Fighters won the Japan Series. Now he manages them.
