Biography

A short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: This speedster is the heart that makes the Tigers roar. Bats and throws left handed, it seems that he is always on base and ready to dart toward second. Shosei was the 1943 MVP, a very unusual accomplishment for a leadoff hitter. He is among career leaders in stolen bases and triples and has even excelled on the mound, pitching a no-hitter in ’46. Born in Taiwan in 1916.
