In the early 1960s, DaiMai Orions owner Masaichi Nagata was sick of his team's struggling attendance numbers, and resolved to get out of the shadow of his stadium-mates by building the greatest stadium Japan had yet seen.
Then reality hit.

I made a mistake in the video: The 1964 Nankai Hawks weren't the defending champions, the Giants won the 1963 Japan Series over the Nishitetsu Lions. What I meant to say was the eventual champion Nankai Hawks could only draw 8000. Even then, the defending PL Pennant winning Lions could only draw 8000 to their home opener, so the point stands.

So the Orions were just a little too ahead of the curve for their own good. That's a shame. Tokyo Stadium looked like a classy facility for any ball club in Tokyo to call home. Shame it was too expensive for any team to run at the time. Excellent video as always, Gaijin Baseball. Can't wait to see the next one.

This is really cool. I think the algorithm is going to bless this video. Now I am obsessed with Japan baseball stadiums considering Ichiro finished his career in Japan.

This is a ballpark I had been wondering about. Thanks for the insight.

@SIGuy7480 Год назад

is there a reason why NPB teams are contracted in Tokyo? 5 is a lot for one city

@kaiyeeto6499 Год назад

Tokyo does hold 1/3 of Japan's population

@GaijinBaseball Год назад

Only two are in Tokyo proper, the other three are in the surrounding cities. There are also more people in Metro Tokyo than all of Canada and we have 7 NHL teams lol.

Tokyo is like the largest city in the world. Huge market

Since you mention him can you please make a video of Giant Baba's Baseball career, I was always wonder how he was in Baseball.

@derkaiserzen Год назад

Knee and elbow injury.. Not to mention his gigantism complications doomed his career to not be long since beginning

@GaijinBaseball Год назад

Shohei Baba has been on my list of vids to make, but deciding how to approach it has been difficult. I don't want to do the whole clickbait "This famous wrestler was a baseball player" thing, but he didn't play long enough to warrant a "Player Profile" video.

@ThrashAD720 Год назад

@@GaijinBaseball Well the only other big name Wrestler that was a former Baseball player is "Macho Man" Randy Savage. I think a lot of people are interested about his Baseball past. Him going from Baseball to being one of Rikidozan protege and the other being Antonio Inoki.
