[Memorial by Nagashima Shigeo]Impact beyond numbers: Memorable appearances/data with stories
He was said to be a more memorable player than his record. “The Burning Man” played had an impact that exceeded the numbers. Nagashima Shigeo, the lifelong honorary manager of the Giants, who passed away on June 3rd, was active. He made his debut as third batter and third baseman in the opening game of his first year, and his strength in his competitive edge suddenly became a hero of his era. Even though he played an incredibly unusual play, the fans were gazing at him, saying, “I don't know what I'm going to do.” He brought back “The memorable Nagashima Shigeo.”

Overcoming the unstoppable cycle
Once you gain momentum, you can't stop. Nagashima's bat has once surpassed a “cycle hit.” It was the Chunichi match on May 3, 1959. In his final at-bat, he hit his sixth solo home run from Ina Tsutomu, one out in the 11th inning, bringing him a victory of 8-7.

He had 4 hits and 2 RBIs in 4 at-bats. He continued with a double in the third inning, a triple over center field in the fifth inning, and a triple over center field in the right-center field in the seventh inning. The final home run was the final. He walked in the second inning, and in the nineth inning, he even stole two and three.
He took bases in all six at-bats and stole two bases with five runs. Where are you going for the second year jinx? He hit and ran to win. “Ah, I'm tired. It's the first time I've been such a serious and hard work as a professional.” If he had achieved a cycle hit, he would have 10 home runs and earned 12 home runs, which is more than that.
