January 14, 20224 yr The year where he had that "frisbee" working was so awesome. A one year wonder - likely driven by age (35 I think when he started with the White Sox).
January 16, 20224 yr I never knew he was a dominant in the NPB and never realized his MLB career was only two seasons. He’ll always be the pitcher I think of when someone talks about throwing sidearm
January 16, 20224 yr One of the most entertaining times I had at a regular season game was watching Shingo pitch for the 1st time. My nephew and I were laughing as frisbee after frisbee made the hitters that game look like idiots. Great fun. Congrats Shingo...wonder if he will wear his World Series ring to the ceremony?
