Biography: His father coached him on his youth league team.  Is a fan of Jesse Barfield. Has excellent speed and a strong, if somewhat erratic accuracywise, arm, but has also had problems bunting and was largely confined to being a defensive replacement and pinch runner until 2009, when he started swtich hitting again after having given it up and had a breakout year. Unfortunately, that was sabotaged by a collision with leftfielder Kazuhiro Wada in September, causing a fracture. Is married. Reference: Wikipedia Japan

Biography: Had trouble hitting breaking pitches in the minors and contemplated suicide as a result. Batted cleanup in 454 games AB 1307 H 374 HR 47 RBI 193 AVG .286. Homered off of Masaichi Kaneda to break his shutout string at 64.1 innings (5/27/1958). Also had two sayonara homers off of Kaneda during his career.
