Former Nippon Ham Takeshi Shinjo, a gardener (48), showed his true “star” character. It hit the only hit in the game, and even in the interview, “Shinjo-bushi” was fully opened.

Starting from a difficult situation for a hitter with a score of 1-1. As each batter struggled, he fired a left front shot from Yakult’s left-handed pitcher Julius Hikuma in the fourth at-bat. Runners made it to first and second base and hit the scene of chance for the first time on this day, showing the strength of the game just as it did in the active era.

Shinjo, who landed a hit, jumped close to first base and was delighted with a broad smile as he displayed a gutsy pose with both hands.

“There was a runner, so the adrenaline was wide open. After hitting, the ball seemed to stop. It was okay to be pushed. He was calm. It was wonderful,” he said, and intends to continue growing by joining the NPB.

The first at bat catches the first ball and hits hard. The second at bat was four balls and the third at bat was two balls.

Mr. Shinjo left Nippon Ham only in 2006 and moved to Bali, Indonesia. When he announced his intention to return to active duty in November of last year, he posted the practice on Instagram and YouTube. In September, she took on various challenges, such as appearing in the Tokyo Girls Collection.
