He apparently continued to play with his children every time they met. His father: “I’m fine, it’s OK! I can see why this person is liked by everyone. That’s how it felt.” ◇ His messy and unpretentious personality and numerous legendary plays. Mr. has been loved by many people. On the 3rd, special editions were distributed in Yurakucho. People in the town: “I loved you already. Thank you! That’s all there is to it! Thank you!” In her 80s: “A hero has passed away. I wonder if one era has ended.” ◇ Nagashima Shigeo, 89 years old. Born in Chiba Prefecture in 1936. During his high school days, he was active in the baseball club of a high school in what is now Sakura City. Those who know about that time… Nagashima’s junior: “Nagashima is (two years older) and I remember the nostalgic story of “Ohhh” with Nagashima over the bench. At the time, I couldn’t imagine him as Nagashima-san today.” His mother was the same generation. “I had heard about Nagashima-san from my mother. He was particularly shining and popular. He said, “Even back then, he had a great variety of senses.” After graduating from high school, he went to Rikkyo University. He has broken the records of Tokyo’s Six University baseball teams one after another, and has been active as a star player. At the moment, a monument is set up at my alma mater to praise Nagashima Shigeo. There was also a message to my juniors. “If you give up all of what you have, you’ll have a lifetime without regrets. Don’t spoil yourself, but be proactive in everything, and accumulate a lot of things to show when you enter society.” A current Rikkyo University student: “When you hear the word Rikkyo, Nagashima is the first person to appear in.” “I think he’s a great person who has built up an era.” “I heard from my father, that’s a postwar superstar. He’s like he’s a great alumni who brightens up Japan, or is he a great alumni. He’s a special presence and a pride for us Rikkyo students.” After graduating from university, he joined the Giants. The history of “Mr. Pro Baseball” begins. In 1959 (who was 23 at the time), he was in a match against Tenran… “Fourth batter, third batter, Nagashima” “Home run! Nagashima’s walk-off home run!” Supporting the Giants’ golden age in 2017… Nagashima: “My Giants’ army will be immortal forever.” He retired in 1974 at the age of 38. The following month he became the manager of the Giants. My jersey number went from “3” to “90”. In 1976 (aged 40 at the time), he led the team to the league championship in his second year as manager. Around this time, a famous restaurant for Giants fans opened in Kagoshima. Reporter: “Curry Shop No. 90. There are big photos of Nagashima-san on display.” The owner is said to be a huge fan of Nagashima-san. When the league was won, they apparently served 100 yen curry. Manager Iwakiri Hidefumi (77): “When I made it (I decided to make it) be number 90. It’s Taiyo, I got the energy of that person and started working.” He retired from the position of manager, but in 1992 he took office again. The Nagashima Giants have their second legendary match. On October 8th, 1994, the first in professional baseball history to win the championship. The “10/8 final battle” that Nagashima called it a “national event.” Nagashima: “Our athletes were on fire today.” In Nagoya, where the final battle was set, there is a restaurant that Nagashima liked as a meal for the match. That’s the kakiage bowl. He says that he always received orders for delivery and delivered them to the stadium. President Mizutani, tempura kakiage fried rice “Hikamura,” “I heard that the “kachiage” rice bowl and “kachiage” rice bowl, “I feel like I won if I eat this.” —-Is it like a gen-fun? Mizutani, president of Tempura Kakiage “Hikamura,” “It looks like there is.” He never came to the store, but one day he received a handwritten colored paper. Mizutani, president of Tempura Kakiage “Hikamura,” “It’s a dream, too. We’re Mr., the person I admire. On the other hand, I wonder if they were really there because I’ve never met them? I really wanted them to eat at this restaurant, but they didn’t make a dream come true.” 2001 (age 65 at the time). Nagashima: “I am resigning from manager. I am very grateful to all the spectators and professional baseball fans across the country.” ◇ After that, what awaited me was my battle with illness. Nagashima has been living a long rehabilitation life after a stroke that occurred in 2004. Meanwhile, I saw a family I met regularly in a park in Tokyo. It’s Yoshida-san’s family. He says that he met Nagashima, who is working hard at rehabilitation in the park, and began a conversation almost every week. The first time I met was in 2013, when Nagashima won the National Honor Award. Yoshida Mitsunori, who had been with me for about three years, said, “I was really surprised when I won the National Honor Award and didn’t expect that the person himself would appear in front of me right after that.” “When I took my child, he played with me, and I couldn’t help but throw the ball to my son, thinking, ‘Learn the ball,'” “Anyway, it was like an aura, or rather, a halo shines from behind Mr., a warm, indescribable aura like the sun, was coming out of Mr.’s body, and I felt that I could see that this person was liked by everyone.” The last time I met was in 2016. Yoshida Mitsunori, who I had been with for about three years, said, “When I went with a colored paper and said, ‘Mr. It’s very brazen, could you please give me a quick stroke?’, he took the initiative. At first, I was really worried about what I should write. I thought I would win, so I started writing the word “win,” and also wrote Nagashima Shigeo’s number 3 jersey. He was a really bright person. He felt that the light was shining without being separated.” (From “news every.” broadcast on June 3, 2025) ◇Membership “Nippon TV NEWS Club” has begun, and the bonus features include badges that change colors and increase status depending on your affiliation history for 290 yen per month, and stamps that can be used in live streaming chats, and basic functions such as stamps that can be used in live streaming chats! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuTAXTexrhetbOe3zgskJBQ/join ◇Nippon Television News Bureau’s SNS X https://twitter.com/news24ntv TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@ntv.news Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ntvnews24 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ntv_news24/?hl=ja ◇[Latest news available]NTV NEWS https://news.ntv.co.jp/ #Nagashima Shigeo #Yomiuri Giants Army #Baseball #Nippon Television #Newsevery #News
