It didn't matter if I was the quiet, shy, oddball at school... because everyone on the team knew me as the short, chubby, Japanese guy who was really good at fielding ground balls. And out there, I was a functioning member of a team who was having the time of his life.

The Bird! Awesome stuff, Fuji.
Any post featuring "The Bird" is a great post.
GreatBird post. Who can forget him inserting his cup onthe pitchers mound. Great memories indeed.
How dare you flip us the bird!
Just kidding, awesome post and awesome cards man :).
One guy I wish I saw live!
I saw him play. It was a great year. Great cards.
The Bird was a ton of fun to watch. I enjoyed watching him talking to the ball on the mound -- always a treat for me as a 6 year-old.
The Bird was such a phenomenon. Nice post Fuji. Little League was a great time in my life, too.
Saw the bird pitch in one of his last games for the Pawsox. Put on a show
Great cards Fuji! Little League was a blast for me as well.
There's a great song by The Baseball Project called "1976" about the Bird.
